Jim Dalton blurs the lines between rock & roll, alt-country, and beyond, balancing his solo records with band projects like the Railbenders, Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, and the Hickman-Dalton Gang. It's been a diverse and dynamic career — one that's earned Dalton a spot in the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame, as well as numerous "Best Of" awards from the Colorado press and a cross-country audience that spans both sides of the Mexican border.
In My Head, his solo debut, arrived in 2021. While playing those songs live, Dalton began inviting a rotating cast of musician friends to serve as his backing band. Known as "The Amigos," the group regularly featured members of the Tucson-based band The Jons, as well as Jeremy Lawton (multi-instrumentalist of Big Head Todd & the Monsters), fellow Peacemaker Nick Scropos, and guests like Jesse Dayton and Miles Nielsen and his band.
Known for their loose, bawdy nature, those shows eventually gave way to a second solo record, 2024's The Sound Of That. An ambitious album that balanced humor with heft, The Sound Of That found Dalton offering positive messages during challenging socio-political times with tracks like "It's Gonna Be Cool," "Kinder," "Shine Your Light," and "Rose Colored Glasses."
