The Hook Knives

Jimmy Rea celebrates 1 year on Art News with lots of local music including Hitters debut single, The Hook Knives Studio Live SoundCheck, a local Beatles tribute, the DIY Summer Jamboree and Comedy from Bruce Bruce!

Jimmy Rea is a proud Ozarkian with deep ties to the music community. With 2 decades of creative entrepreneurship underfoot, Jimmy has toured coast to coast and around the world with acoustic acts The HillBenders and Keller Williams. Spearheading numerous musical groups, recording projects, and live music events, Rea’s work in the Springfield music scene is a passion and lifestyle. Happily married to wife Melissa and father to Archie, they enjoy life together with 2 dogs and a cat. In his downtime you can find Jimmy fishing for bass in the crisp rivers, creeks, and streams of the Ozarks.<br/>
