Ken Kinal - Rhythm Guitar and Lead Vocals |
| |
 |
Ken began his history on the New Jersey club scene playing lead guitar in various heavy metal bands in the 1980´s, but even then good vocals and rich harmonies were important to him. After getting a haircut and a day job, he worked in a classic rock band regularly playing clubs in the Middlesex and Somerset County area. It was around that time that Ken discovered that playing acoustic and singing for a crowd was a whole lot of fun. He refined this talent around several hundred campfires and developed a repertoire that Jimmy Two Times is based on – Eagles, Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, U2, Bruce Springsteen, etc. Blending nicely with fantastic vocal harmonies from Bruce, Paul, Jeff, and Mike, Jimmy Two Times is able to pull off many of the more challenging classic rock songs with ease. |

Jeff Bavaro - Lead Guitar and Vocals |

Jeff has been playing in and around the NJ club scene in various rock outfits in the 80´s and 90´s, playing covers and original material. In ´93 he started an acoustic cover band as a ´side project´. This side project lasted over 10 years and gigged regularly in the North Jersey area. He was also involved in other original projects, writing and recording over the last few years. Influenced by classic rock and blues players along with contemporary blues artists, Jeff brings a bluesy edge, along with yet another voice, to Jimmy Two Times. Jeff loves playing these classic songs aggressively, giving the classic material a new and exciting twist. |

Paul D´Aula - Bass Guitar and Vocals |

Paul´s greatest influence is Paul McCartney, as is witnessed in his adoption of the left-handed playing style. Paul has played in and around the New York music scene for almost 30 years, playing in a variety of bands whose styles covered everything from Evelyn Champagne King to Rush. Paul has many influences coming from many genres. His mentors on the bass guitar include Sir Paul, Geddy Lee, John Paul Jones, Larry Graham (father of the slap bass), and just about anyone who played bass with James Brown. Paul is proud to be a part of Jimmy Two Times, whose talent is plentiful and whose energy is infectious! |
