Every single day a new crop of dreamers arrive in Music City, USA, in pursuit of a dream. Countless remarkably talented musicians and songwriters grace the streets of Nashville, Tennessee. The honkytonks and bars are teeming with fabulous acts that seem to be teetering on the brink of stardom. Few will actually become bigger than life becoming known to the world as a "stars."
Jim Bowman is one of those who came face-to-face with mega-stars and screen actors across the country and somehow missed his elusive shot at fame. From writing songs with some of Country Music's top talents, to playing in many famous bands in different genres of music, Jim seemed to have what it took to "make it."
In How Not to Make It in the Music Business he shares his side of the ins-and-outs of the music business from the ground up. Humbled by his many experiences and brushes with the "big time," Jim opens up his heart to those who love a good story, and readers a chance to see Music Row from the inside out. After many years of struggling to make it big, perhaps Jim has finally made peace with "life after Nashville." He's carved out his own niche - sharing his love of music and the Great Outdoors - and will have you singing along and pondering his next steps along Life's Highway.
