“His gentle and authentic stage presence combined with awesome songwriting make for a delightful show.”

“Jim has a real gift of bringing a room together when he performs.  His positive energy and captivating music engages the audience!. His music carries a universal flow of emotions and experience that we can all identify with.”

“With the release of his latest album “Further From The Tree” on Ring Street Records, singer/ songwriter Jim Trick has once again shown why he is one of the most important voices in independent music today. As a wordsmith Jim can hold his own amongsuch other writers as Pierce Pettis, Brooks Williams & Tom Conlon. Sonically the album has a totally professional feel to it and should be a welcome addition to any serious music collectors library.”

“One of New England’s top songwriters”

Berklee College of Music

“Listening to Jim Trick’s songs and voice are like getting a hug from an old friend. A friend that knows you well. His music lets me let me take off my armor and feel welcomed into a world where I know I’m understood, not alone, and truly invited into. Wonderful stuff.”

Mary Lou Lord

“I am drawn in by Jim’s emotional and handsome voice—he sounds a lot like Lyle Lovett and looks a bit like Elvis Costello! The arrangements are beautiful, the lyrics are original, and the songs have a flying feeling. It has a soft, country/rock sound, likeable melodies and hooks, and an expansive feeling of love.

My favorite song is “Lucky Enough.” I bet Lyle Lovett would want to record it: “I live in my truck ’cause I like it that way/ I throw old bread on the roof of my truck and I can hear the birds when they take it away.” This is a spare song, just Jim’s voice, an acoustic guitar, and a national steel guitar.

These are message songs, reflecting a life of thought and prayer. I suspect Jim is a man of faith, but he doesn’t clobber the listener with the message. He hints though, especially in the song, “Hold Onto Hope.” He sings a line from the old song, “We Are One in the Spirit”: “…and they’ll know we are Christians by our love..” I believe him.”
