Bass Player: Jimmy ‘Flim’ Johnson

Jimmy ‘Flim’ Johnson first came to the world’s attention as one third of the WAyne Johnson Trio (no relation). Johnson has since featured with his own band, Flim And The BBs, as well as fulfilling sideman duties with the likes of James Taylor, Steve Gadd and a host of others.
