“Indy-garage”… that's what I play." Jim Rezac 2024 is proving to be a Big one for the Delaware native.
In the spring, “Telescope”, Rezacs’ first self written/recorded/produced/mastered & distributed LP came out. His song, "Trying 2 Be An Angel" was picked up by a feature film for release in 2025! (the movie is 'Meathook'...I'm not making that up!) The songwriter landed a coveted spot at BETA Hi-Fi Festival and will be performing/competing at WXPN's World Cafe Live! in July.
And this year will mark Jim’s 5th trip in a row to the Best and Biggest Free outdoor music festival in the U.S…. MUSIKFEST! Musikfest, a 10-Day festival in Bethlehem has become a favorite showcase for the songwriter. Jim makes his first appearance at Fringe Fest, in Rochester, NY. Jim will be performing at Rochesters' Music Hall of Fame in Sept. And a few years ago, the songwriter/performer won Best Song for a Fictional Podcast for his "Theme to Muckey Landing" at the international event, New Jersey Web Fest. (The podcast itself went on to win Outstanding Comedy as well).
Jim Rezac is a different kind of songwriter. From Delaware, he's been playing guitar all his life. But it wasn't until a dozen years ago that the writing bug bit him. He hasn't recovered yet. When the First State musician isn't helping others enjoy the guitar at his humble studio in Wyoming, DE....he's writing. And writing some more. Rezac has performed at venues such as The Bitter End (NYC), The Avalon Theater (Easton, MD), Wilmington Grand (Wilm., DE) The Rockshop Performance Arts Center (Camden, DE) and Songwriter Showcases in NJ, PA, MD, and DE. He's played MusikFest (Bethlehem, PA) for a number of years now and has been featured on local WBOC-TV about half a dozen times, recently. His songs & lyrics have been describe as 'honest' ... 'powerful'. And that's good enough, Jim says. Please drop us a line to tell us how you found Jim...look for "Tryin 2 Be An Angle" in the movie, Meathook in
