The idea of Jimi's Image was born in the summer of '97 at the Santa
Clara County Fairgrounds. Since then the bands personnel has undergone
many changes to finally arrive at it's most polished and professsional
level. Jimi Taylor grew up in the California Bay Area and has many
things in common with the late Jimi Hendrix.
Ken Tonn is the
backbone of the group, playing Bass all of his life. Hand picked from
Alaska's best, Ken Rocks. The latest member of the group is Hal Hays,
the Percussionist. I say percussionist because he is much more than a
drummer. Hal brings Mitch's style and flair that completes the daunting
task of recreating the sound of Jimi's thunder.
Jimi's Image has shared the stage with the likes of Canned Heat, Ten
Years After, Iron Butterfly, Greg Rolie and Mountain with audiences of
up to eleven (11) thousand. Jimi's Image is, and will continue to
be, dedicated to preserving the legacy of the most revered band
in history, The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
