  • Band: Jim Trace & the Makers https://jimtraceandthemakers.com/ 
    • Founded in Cincinnati, Jim Trace and The Makers formed in the summer of 2014. What started as a bourbon-soaked jam session turned into a hard-rocking folk-infused force in the Midwest. In 2015, the band added fiddle and bass to round out the ensemble. JTM released their acclaimed debut, "A Little Hazy" and set out touring across the Midwest. After a few years of exploring an indie-rock vibe, the band returned to their folk and Americana roots with the release of a new single, "Bones" in 2022. Jim Trace and The Makers continue to perform around the tristate area and are looking to expand to new cities across the Midwest in 2025 with the release of their first LP in 10 years. Look for Jim Trace's newest album, "Mash Bill" in early 2025.
