Jim Duff is an American singer-songwriter, poet, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose music pulls from the heart of the country and the streets of the city in equal measure. Over a career that spans more than three decades, he has written and recorded well over 300 original songs, moving freely among folk, Americana, country, blues, jazz, and rock while retaining an unmistakable voice all his own. Early roots Born on March 9 1972 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and raised in the small town of Waynesburg, Kentucky, Duff grew up amid tobacco farms and rolling hills. Much of his character was shaped by his grandfather Clarence Barnett, a fiddle-playing entrepreneur who literally milled his own lumber and built the family funeral home after banks refused him a loan. As a boy, Jim helped dig graves, hauled lumber, worked in hay, cut and housed tobacco, milked cows, and absorbed the values of perseverance and self-reliance.
