Artist:
Jimmy Parrish & The Ocean Waves Band From: Jacksonville, FL
A native Floridian and long-time resident of Jacksonville, Jimmy’s been singing and playing for twenty-seven years and performing actively along the east coast since 1990. After forming The Ocean Waves Band in 2000, his goal was to entertain the Parrot Heads and audiences throughout the region with an island style tropical flavor.
Jimmy and The Ocean Waves Band’s music has grown quite large in popularity over the years, especially with the release of their 2007 all-original CD, “Let’s Go Fishin” and continue to headline festivals, and perform at major resorts, corporate functions, beachside tiki bars, and clubs from Myrtle Beach to Miami.
Plans are in order to expand their fan base by heading where else….south, make a U-turn in Monroe County, then continue up Florida’s west coast over to the panhandle up into Alabama, all the while performing and promoting this new collection of island music.
The Trop-Rock genre has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, which in part explains why Jimmy performed 120 shows last year, and this year will top out around 150! The Ocean Waves Band is made up of a group of incredibly talented musicians that have earned a significant and loyal following in the northeast Florida area.
