I met Hobo Jim in Palmer about five years ago when I was there on a contract job. I told him I was from Arkansas and he gave me five of his CDs. He's so funny and wonderful!
I was in Alaska twice - 3 months each time in 2004 and 2005 - and the BEST memory i have from there is a pub in Soldodtna called BJs and Hobo Jim playing. unreal. That man is a legend. He did an amazing cover of "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan.
Hobo Jim came to Kodiak, AK and I was able to catch his show April 3, 08. What a friggin showman!!!!! Anyone who has the opportunity to see him should.
Hobo Jim is the official Alaska Balladeer... I have been watching Hobo Jim sing in Soldotna Alaska since I was 18, over 20 years being a fan of Hobo Jim. He is a very awesome performer, I have had him on the table before me & had drinks with him when he came in for sound checks before many gigs. I'm friends with BJ's bar's owner, where he performed. I don't live in Alaska now & I miss summers with Hobo Jim... Give 'em Hell Jim!!
I'm SO glad I had the chance to see him last summer and get these little video snippets. He really is a great performer - even sick witht he flu - this guy rocked The Box!
I can't WAIT to get back up there and see Hobo again! I'd love to buy the man a drink.
I travelled around Alaska in July 07 w a couple friends for 20 days. We went to see Hobo Jim in Seward twice, Soldotna once and Anchorage once. Truly a highlight of the trip. Hobo Jim is an Alaskan American Superstar! Im starting the Rhode Island chapter of the Hobo Jim Fan Club (RIHJFC). Spread the word!

One of Alaska's best experiences is Hobo Jim at the Alaska State Fair's Sluicebox Bar on Memorial Day.
