Listen Later

Jimmy Stewart is an award winning composer and performer in the Baltimore music scene. With a bachelor's in science and business administration he worked as a contractor for the government office of the Washington Navy Yard for 4 years and is now the program director for the float cyber security office for the U.S. Government. From his early days in Tampa Bay, FL he enlisted in the U.S. Navy at age 17 and spent 21 years as a submariner. Though the Navy showed him the world, Jimmy has happily settled in Baltimore, MD where he now quietly crafts his music. He feels most at home in nature next to a warm campfire. His time in nature, creating music has helped form a trait in himself that is truly rare in our world, optimism.

Jimmy and I talk about:

  • His time growing up in Tampa Bay, FL and how he first got interested in music and playing guitar
  • His time in the U.S. Navy, particularly his experiences in and on the submarine
  • The energy between the performer and the audience
  • How he ended up in the Baltimore
  • What inspired the song, Train to Kamakura
  • His song "Lemoyne" which won the GOLD Prize in the Instrumental Category for the 2020 37th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest (MASC) 2ND YEAR IN A ROW
  • His first time winning the award with “Air of Autumn” from his album Just Left of Beautiful (2017) 
  • And much more
