Who IS Jimmy Chickenpants? No one really knows, but the band hales from the Santa Cruz area. They traditionally put the 'hick' in 'chicken' with music that combines bluegrass, newer-grass, jazz-grass, and original-grass, otherwise known as "Poultry In Motion". Jimmy's influences apparently include Bill Monroe, Gillian Welch, Bela Fleck, Duke Ellington, and most significantly, Rocky the Petaluma Free Range Chicken.

Jimmy has been touted as one of Santa Cruz's best-kept secrets by KPIG radio. Jimmy Chickenpants is not on any "No Fly" lists, as far as we know, so please check the schedule, and come enjoy some “Free Range Pickin’”!
