“Jimmy Ohio is a Detroit transplant living in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. His shows are as electric and raw as Detroit and Bed-Stuy combined. From the first song to the last, Ohio growls lyrics as he herky-jerks himself around the stage in a spiritual fit, filled with demons and angels in a cosmic battle for his soul.
Ohio’s vocal stylings are reminiscent of Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine at their best, backed by blazing guitar solos and a tight-as-hell rhythm section that keeps everyone dancing. Jimmy Ohio puts on a sweat drenched once-in-a-life-time show…every time.”
— Swiss label, Vanina Hanin
