The 2018 edition of the Album "Past Atmospheres Present States" is still available, Final edition to be released in 2022.

Many more tunes,remastered vocal pieces from the long out of print "Blue Wheels...and Other Guitar Favorites".

The new album "Clear and Present Future"will be presented 2022.

Volk artfully incorporates traditional fingerstyle and electric guitar techniques and devises for a truly “Modern Acoustic” presentation while keeping the traditional essence intact.

Jim Volk’s critically acclaimed and award winning solo guitar work draws from traditional and contemporary styles around the world. More like a bird's eye journey of the world of music rather than focusing on one specific style. He will go from the 16th century to '70s rock then swing it Like Chet meets Django within a measure; and oh the fun listeners have trying to count the number of themes he has woven into that 10 minute medley. And of course, plenty of of classic favorites that span a few decades and as well as delightfully quirky moments of musical entertainment.
