Regarding the Rockstar TV show house band, he says that he feels his role is a multifaceted one: guitar, keys and singing. ''"Plus, being a writer/artist myself, I feel that I understand how to work with the singers. From a guitar perspective, I try to capture the original tones of the records we play, from guitars to tunings and effects. Rafa has a unique tone that he really likes, so the more I get the original tones right, the more I think the audience will relate to the performance."'' Other members of the House band include: Rafael Moreira (lead guitar), Paul Mirkovich (keyboards), Sasha Krivtsov (bass) and Nate Morton (drums). ==Jamestown Ltd== In 2006, McGorman's band Jamestown Ltd released its first album, ''The World Is Falling Down''. Tracks: # You're Not Alone # All I Know # California # The World Is Falling Down # Through to You # Do You Remember # Rebound # Let's Not Fall In Love # Change # Here Is Now # You and I Jim, on Jamestown Ltd and recording the CD ''..."Well, Jamestown is my baby. I’ve been working on music my entire life, and this is my first full-length record. I wrote – or co-wrote – all the songs, produced the record, and obviously played guitar, keys and sang. I’ve been working with a lot of the same musicians over the years in L.A.; the drummer (Dave Allen), bass player (Jon Button), and I have been working on original stuff for almost seven years. The three of us played for Michelle Branch when I was her Musical Director from 2001 to 2002. Emerson Swinford (guitar) and I have been writing and playing together for longer than that, and David Levita (guitar) has been a great contribution to the recording process. Though we are all pro players and are generally really busy working on other projects (to pay the bills), this is something we have done for ourselves. I am incredibly proud of the record and how we all worked together to make it happen.We’ll see where it goes from here."'' 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Artist Profile - Jim McGorman )〕 NOTE: band changed name from Jamestown to Jamestown Ltd in January, 2007 due to copyright issues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Jim McGorman Questions )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim McGorman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
