Bev's past singing experience was mostly church choir, but she quickly adapted to the stage performances and recording. Jim has played through the years in several professional tour bands and enjoys playing several instruments.

The vocal harmonies that Jim & Bev produce singing together have caused them to book singing engagements all over the northern Ohio area. Some engagements are Jim & Bev and a guitar only, and some engagements are with their whole band "Wild Horses."

Biography

Jim was born August 13th, 1952, in Willard, Ohio. The only son of Joseph and Betty Lillo.  Jim's musical infuence started as a young boy watching his mother play piano. 

Jim started piano lessions shortly after starting first grade in school. He continued lessions untill his graduation . He said," Bach and Beehoven never held my interest as much as Johnny cash and Merl Haggert and besides the piano wasn't as portable as a guitar is." A 1971 graduate of Willard High School , Jim started his first professional group "The Green Expressions. Playing clubs, fairs, and festivals all over Ohio. It was around this time Jim began teaching at a local music store.  ."

 Before He knew it Jim was teaching 11 different instruments.

   In the early 1980's Jims new band "The Brandy Band" was born. They had their first 45 rpm record released, " What You See Is What You Get" and "I don't Love You Anymore" songs both written by Jim.

At that time jim was playing "Live" radio shows for W.N.C.O in Ashland, Ohio and W.T.T.F in Tiffin, Ohio

    Jim entered and won several singing contests and had the proud distinction of being the 1980 and 1981 "King" of country music for the state of Ohio. Shortly after that Jim signed with professional music promoter, and booking agent,  John Moore Inc. located in Columbus, Ohio.

    Through those shows Jim has the opportunity to work as a opening act for music greats as : Johnny Cash, Little Jimmy Dickens, Teresa Brewer, Bobby Goldsboro, Sha-Na-Na, and Jimmy C. Newman.  Jim's career that started in the 60's is still very much alive today and getting more exciting each new show date.
