Jimmy Rosetti,
having worked with his own band for
many years, started doing a solo performance back in 1985 when he left a house
band engagement at Alioto’s in Milwaukee. He led a house band there for four
years. As a solo artist, Jimmy started entertaining at seafood and raw bars
along Florida’s Treasure Coast from Fort Lauderdale all the way up to Vero Beach
and down to Miami Beach and The Keys. The material he covered was mostly Jimmy
Buffet, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot and along those lines. Even though most
of his accompaniment was his own acoustic guitar, Jimmy found that expanding his
sound with music tracks and adding electric guitars into his performance gave
his solo show a much more broadened appeal to audiences, most of them tourists
from all over the U.S.
The expanded show led to cruise
ships and resort hotel engagements and a huge variety of audiences. This led to
opening for various entertainers including: Tina Turner, Chuck Berry, Wayne
Newton, Alabama, Rod Stewart, BB King, etc. As a result of interacting with all
of those musical entertainers, Jimmy opened Music City Connection
entertainment Agency in West Palm Beach and he started promoting his own events
and booking these performers into various venues in South Florida and other
parts of the country. This gave him an opportunity to open, close, MC, and
entertain many different audiences. Jimmy Rosetti has an amazing talent for
complimenting and sounding like so many of the entertainers that he covers. He
was quoted as saying, “That’s why I never became as big an entertainer as
many of the people I imitated, I was too good at sounding just like them and
they did it first. You need to nurture your own sound then take it to the
masses”. Jim Quote: “ I am first and
foremost an entertainer. I sing, tell jokes, tell stories, get audiences
involved, do sing-a-longs, ethnic tunes, and yes, I’ve even been known to tap
dance (ha ha only joking). Being a musician is only a small part of what I
do”
