Jim Yackel began playing nightclubs on the “Thruway Circuit” in upstate New York in 1980. The bands and the personnel were in a perpetual state of flux; however Jim’s Beatles influenced pop-rock writing style remained as his trademark.After years of pursuing the elusive recording contract, Yackel and his band Groovetown Fire Department independently released a CD in 1994. GFD did not last long after its lone recording venture, which prompted Yackel to go solo in 1996. In 1998, he retired from making music, believing that his exodus would be permanent. What he knows now and didn’t know then was that the period away from music was but a temporary one. More accurately, Jim’s “retirement” was a change of season and a time for restoration, which would lead him to being born again through Jesus Christ. Jesus gave him life everlasting and a new purpose in music making.Circa 2005, the Holy Spirit prompted him to become active again in music, which led to the 2007 release of his first Christi
