About
Jamie Kindleyside
Born in Massachusetts in 1969, Jamie Kindleyside began playing coffee shops & clubs in New England in his early 20s. He moved to Nashville in 1998, having already made his first self-titled CD. With gainful employment in the kitchen at the legendary Bluebird Cafe, he was in the perfect spot to hone his craft.
After 4 albums made it to the Americana charts, he began collaborating with Nashville native and celebrated artist/producer, Suzi Ragsdale. The result is Would You Live With Me On Mars?, a 14 track, audible delight.
