Deciding that the well-worn paths that other musicians adhere to were not the proper routes for his own creativity, Chicago based Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Jim Green has transcended popular genres by creating fiery percussive driven finger-style acoustic guitar songs in a fresh and compelling way since 1999. Like great guitarists before him such as Michael Hedges, he utilizes unusual guitar tunings while incorporating percussive rhythms, harmonics, and finger-tapping with a piano-like approach that is both musically and visually stimulating. Jim Green’s live performances are made up of originals and popular cover songs while earning his moniker, The Wandering Endorphin, as he weaves through genres such as Avant-Garde Kinetic Guitar, rock, folk, new edge, blues, pop, Lo-fi lounge and Flamenco in a unique way.

Green’s driving perfectionism to his music has brought him from an unknown street musician to gaining the attention of the Editors at Billboard Magazine who named him "One of the best independent artists in the Midwest" and winning the 2004 Guitar Idol Championship. He has opened shows for popular artists such as America, Lucas Nelson, Ann Wilson (Heart), Pat Benatar, Credence Clearwater Revisited, Poi Dog Pondering, Johnny Rivers, Muriel Anderson and Dire Straits Legacy to name a few. His latest and seventh recording True North, has received rave reviews and airplay on over 180 radio stations across the US and Canada including NPR’s Echoes program.
