 http://www.jimhurst.com/ \"Jim Hurst is one of the most versatile and
  tasteful guitar players I know. Whether he's flailing the rhythm for 
 an old time fiddle tune, laying down a funky groove, or finger picking
  a beautiful ballad, his playing is both impeccable and creative. Acco
 mpanying this instrumental virtuosity is a rich and expressive voice w
 ith a surprising range.\"\n- Mark Schatz\nTo listen to Jim Hurst is t
 o be amazed by his tasteful and flawless performances. Perfect timing 
 and tone and his unusual picking style has enchanted guitar players fr
 om the novice to his peers. It’s no surprise, then, that his musical
  mastery began with a musical upbringing paving the way for a winding 
 and varied career path.\nBorn into a musical family, Jim spent his you
 th playing guitar under the influences of flat-picking greats Tony Ric
 e, Doc Watson, George Shuffler, and Clarence White. But the finger-sty
 le playing of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed was the “turn
  in the road” for Jim. This amalgam of impact defined his technique.
 \nUsing his early years to hone his style, Jim’s guitar work and har
 mony vocals for Holly Dunn’s Rio Band brought his talent to both the
  national and international stage. Then in 1992, going electric, he pl
 ayed guitar with Trisha Yearwood, touring extensively and appearing on
  numerous radio and television shows. He also performed with Travis Tr
 itt, and Sara Evans, whose 1998 RCA release No Place That Far features
  Jim’s vocals and acoustic guitar work.\nCraving to play more bluegr
 ass, Jim joined Grammy-nominated Claire Lynch and The Front Porch Stri
 ng Band in 1995, during which time he teamed up with bassist Missy Rai
 nes. They began the duet Jim Hurst and Missy Raines while with Front P
 orch, but then broke off in 2000 to focus solely on their collaboratio
 n. Remaining faithful to their bluegrass roots, Jim and Missy explored
  other genres creating ground-breaking arrangements that wowed the blu
 egrass community. Their partnership resulted in two Pinecastle Records
 , Two and Synergy , receiving critical acclaim and garnering them IBMA
  Guitar and Bass Player of the Year for 2001 and 2002.\nDesiring great
 er freedom to create his own musical path, Jim left the Claire Lynch B
 and in 2010 to embark on a solo career. Already seasoned with two solo
  recordings, Open Window and Second Son, his latest 2007 release, A Bo
 x of Chocolates, exhibits his deft guitar work and soothing vocals. Hi
 s shows meet with rave reviews as he astounds his audiences with his b
 rilliant playing yet makes people feel right at home with his humble c
 ongenial and funny persona. Jim is currently performing solo full time
 , both nationally and internationally, as well as teaching at camps an
 d workshops in North America and Europe. Additionally, his highly soug
 ht-after talent has led to side projects with other bluegrass greats, 
 most recently Rob Ickes and David Grisman. But his solo show, which al
 lows his personal style and unique creativity to come through in spade
 s, is what keeps his audiences mesmerized.\n\n\n\n\nFor more informati
