Jimmy Pitts has performed a diverse array of music, ranging from the frenetic metal and technicality of Spastic Ink, NYN, Scholomance, and Equipoise, to the anthemic power metal of Northtale, Eternity’s End, and Eynomia, along with forays into Jazz fusion, Classical, Rock, World music, & the avant garde. As a keyboardist and pianist, the primary goal Jimmy has is to explore the widest variety of genres possible, and experiment with combining those varied influences in interesting and moving ways. Having played on over 50 albums, many of them as a guest soloist or collaborative partner, Jimmy finds his primary home as a composer in The Fractured Dimension and Pitts Minnemann Project, and counts Northtale (Nuclear Blast records) and Eternity’s End (Ram it Down records), two power metal super groups, as his primary official bands. Jimmy has also been featured on albums alongside such musicians as Marco Minnemann, Marty Friedman, Bobby Jarzombek, Chris Poland, Ray Riendeau, Michael Manring, and many more legendary virtuosos.

In addition to all of his studio commitments, Jimmy Pitts has performed live at the Detroit Jazz Fest with the late Mikhal Caldwell, as a member of the solo band of Vitalij Kuprij, of Trans-Siberian Orchestra fame, at death metal fests in Minneapolis and Iowa, and in many regional acts in his home state of Missouri. He has also warmed up for such acts as King’s X, Mike Stern, Marbin, Eric Sardinas, and recently appeared at the Sabaton Open Air and Evoken festivals with Northtale. Next up he will be performing at ProgPower in Atlanta in August 2020.

As a prolific studio musician, Jimmy has been featured on over 50 album, various compilations, soundtrack work, commercial scoring, and as an educator at Pellegrino’s School of Music in Springfield, MO.

Some of Jimmy’s recent accomplishments include Equipoise reaching the Billboard Heat Seekers chart within a week of being released, performing at the Detroit Jazz Festival alongside his heroes such as Ravi Coltrane, getting signed to Nuclear Blast records with Northtale with only a single released to the world, and being able to have a successful career, touching many music fans throughout the world, many of whom Jimmy stays in touch with via his social media presence. Jimmy is also a proud father and husband.
