Jim Shirey on SoundBetter

A GRAMMY-awarded songwriter with the ears and hands to guide your song from start to finish.

Have a good song and want to make it great? Have a great song and want to turn it into a great record? Need songs, guitar, arrangement or production help (or all of the above) for your dream project? I can help.

I've been writing songs and playing guitar for more than twenty years; I worked as a songwriter and touring guitarist in Boston and Nashville before settling outside Philadelphia with my family. I specialize in "Americana" music like country, bluegrass, and roots rock, but I love pretty much all music and have worked in pretty much every genre.

Wherever you want your music to take you, I can help you get there. Let's talk.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I have to pick the O'Connor Band's "Coming Home" album because it won a Grammy! I will always be grateful that they chose to record two of my songs on that project. Having said that, I feel like I'm still getting better with every project, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

A: Writing, writing, writing, always writing
