Renaissance Man Jimmy Abegg: Painter, Philosopher, Photographer, Guitar Hero (+ Peter Gabriel w Lowland Hum on the Jukebox)

Call him a creative polymath or the quintessential Soul Man, but Jimmy Abegg (Rich Mullins’ Ragamuffin Band, Steve Taylor and the Perfect Foil, The Charlie Peacock Group, Vector, etc) has been a reliable source of musical and visual beauty and coolness for over forty years. And now, with his vision fading, this veteran side-man and accomplished craftsman is settling into his new role as a blind visionary; still painting – still making music – and still offering graceful sketches of beauty in a damaged world. Join us as we visit with the one and only Jimmy Abegg in the brand new East Nashville studio built for him by friends far and wide who have been blessed by his work.

On the Jukebox, we consider the massively successful, and yet still somehow meaningful, 1986 mainstream breakthrough by Peter Gabriel. What secrets might So have for us to unpack 35 years after its release, and what mysteries might indie-folk artists Lowland Hum have uncovered in their recent homage to the classic LP.
