Ohio native Jimmy Yeary began playing Bluegrass music as a young boy, honing a skill that would be the soundtrack to his life’s journey. As fate would have it, Yeary says one show in particular stands out in his mind. While playing a concert in Beattyville, Kentucky in 1985, as a wild-eyed, 15- year-old kid, he was introduced to a budding star, Sonya Isaacs–both were playing in family bands at the time. He fell in love on the spot, though lost touch with her afterwards–but more to this story in a moment…

Jimmy moved to Nashville in October 1994 to start his professional music career. His authentic, acoustic-driven sound landed him two major record deals, with Dreamworks and Atlantic records, but they never materialized into their full potential due to regime changes. Disheartened, maybe a little. But you cannot change the course of fate. Yeary put pen to paper and went on to cultivate an illustrious songwriting career that has so far resulted in 7 #1 Country singles and countless top 40 songs.
