Jim McGorman, Collaborator With Avril Lavigne, Weezer, Michelle Branch, Interview Part One

Jim McGorman's website describes him as a "professional musician," and there may be no more accurate title for this jack of all trades. As a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and musical director, Jim's collaborated with artists as diverse as Avril Lavigne, Weezer, Michelle Branch, Shakira and Bret Michaels.

If you find the green-eyed beast rearing its jealous head while skimming his C.V., you might be interested in watching this, the first of a two-part interview we conducted with Jim at Winter NAMM 2011. He spoke with Gearwire's Owen O'Malley about how being a multi-faceted musician with a background in engineering from Berklee School of Music has helped him stay busy, while also granting that it's not the only path to career sustainability.
