GOO GOO DOLLS

In 2018, Jim teamed up with the multi-platinum selling, Grammy nominated rock band Goo Goo Dolls. Since then, they have done extensive touring throughout the U.S., Europe and South America. In early 2019, they recorded their latest studio album Miracle Pill, for which Jim played all the keyboards and sang background vocals. Their co-headlining tour with Train was one of the highest grossing tours of the summer of 2019.

In 2020, Jim co-produced and arranged the band’s first Christmas album It’s Christmas All Over. He also co-wrote the two original songs on the album This Is Christmas and You Ain’t Gettin’ Nothin’, the former of which is the first single from the album released to radio and featured in the Hallmark movie Christmas She Wrote. This Is Christmas has also been tapped as the main trailer song for the Hallmark channel’s full roster of holiday season TV shows and movies. In a personal highlight, Jim’s daughter Sydney sings lead vocals on a tender remake of the Goo’s hit song Better Days.
