Jim Stanard has always had a profound relationship with music and accrued plenty of performing experience early in life. Music meant so much to him that, as a teenager, he sold his childhood coin collection to buy his first guitar, a Martin D-28 that he still plays. As a young man, Stanard was profoundly affected by the singer-songwriter explosion of the 1960s.
Hanging out at the legendary Main Point coffeehouse in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, he experienced live performances by such musical iconoclasts as Tom Rush, Doc Watson and a young Bruce Springsteen. He saw Bob Dylan perform in Philadelphia in 1966, and attended the historic Woodstock festival three years later.
Magical (2025) is the third full-length studio album from award-winning singer-songwriter Jim Stanard. In reviewing his last album, American Blues Scene wrote “they say there'll never be another Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson, but Jim Stanard draws from the same well of weathered experience". That sentiment is even more true for this album.
Stanard channels a lifetime’s worth of experience and insight to craft imaginative, emotionally resonant story-songs that cut to the heart of human experience.
“I think that the main thing that any artist has to offer is his own perspective”, states singer-songwriter Jim Stanard. “My songs are about how I see people and how I see the world. I think that's the most important thing that an artist can communicate.”
