Heard by over a billion people a week as the voice of the classic theme tune ‘I’m Always Here’ from the global smash hit show Baywatch, gracing the soundtracks of iconic films like The Karate Kid or Rocky IV, and as part of Melodic Rock AOR icons Survivor, JIMI JAMISON is one of the best and most respected singers of the genre.
Incredibly, despite all this success, he had never played the UK until the organizers of the annual Firefest show in Nottingham decided to put right, and invited Jamison to perform.
Jimi did not disappoint – not content playing a blistering set spanning his hit-strewn career, he also chose to steal the show with a performance that many regard as the greatest ever witnessed during Firefest’s history. Backed by an energetic Swedish band comprised of young rockers H.E.A.T., Eclipse drummer Magnus Ulfstedt and guitar hero Tommy Denander, the full concert was captured on tape.
”JIMI JAMISON – Live at Firefest” CD version was a Limited Edition, now completely sold out and a collectors item.
