Jimmy DiBattista

As a current singer and songwriter living in Lake Worth, Florida. Jimmy DiBattista is one of the greatest!  He was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey.  He is proudly married with three children and two grandchildren.

He has been singing his whole life and decided what he wanted to be after seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show when he was eight years old. He took up guitar right around his eighteenth birthday and started writing almost immediately after learning his first few chords.

In these 30 years Jimmy has written over 350 songs and has released seven albums: JimiD-Bo, Give It All You Got, Day Of The Eclipse, Capture the Moment, Solo, Jersey Stories One and Jersey Stories Two.

He has been in bands in Jersey---Damien, The Doowrag Flyers, The Fun Ghouls as well as his own band, with rotating members of a group he calls Tropical Storm. Jimmy has been a full time musician since the early 90's working in many places down here in Palm Beach County, Florida. He has a repertoire of over 500 songs!  South Florida has a "Rag" magazine called Jam and he was nominated for Top Solo Artist back in 92---A Jammy nomination.

(Big Fish/Small Pond) He has jammed with Clarence Clemmons twice, which was a “big thrill for a Jersey guy who had been influenced by Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band”. He has even been able to play a couple of Bruce songs for the Boss at his gig two years ago.  Jimmy says, "he was surprised to hear his Tom Joad classic "The New Timer" and a B side from Born In The USA "Shut Out The Light" down here in South Florida." Mr. Springsteen was quoted saying to Jimmy [that he] " sounded good". That was one of the highlights of Jimmy's life.

Jimmy loves what he does and feels blessed to be able to do what he has always wanted to do.  This shows through his performances. He performs nightly at Nicole's Village Tavern in Wellington on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.  Best acoustic act you'll ever see!
