"Jersey" Jim Nestor - Lead Vocals
Singer and front man "Jersey" Jim cut his teeth playing bass and harp in rock and blues clubs scatterd throughout the New York/New Jersey area. Chasing a girl across country, Jim found himself playing bass in the ever-changing Fresno based blues/R&B band Showdown. For seven years, Showdown played festivals, nightclubs, dives, birthday parties and all things in between - including opening shows for Gatemouth Brown and Sugar Pie De Santo. For the next few years, Jim worked for one of Elvis' former guitar players, Jimmy Kay, as a freelance vocalist/bassist taking as many gigs as he could get, whether it be country, rock, gospel, even a few "lounge-jazz" gigs. After relocating to the Bay Area in 1999, Jim formed the solid 3-piece blues unit One More Mile, playing West Side Chicago blues, circa late '50s-early '60s. Jim, an absolute showman (or blues masochist, depending on how you look at it), now pulls double duty fronting both Wall Of Blues and One More Mile.
