Album Notes

My name is Jim Gaven and I am a 21 year old acoustic emo singer/songwriter (senior at Seton Hall University) from Hamilton, NJ. I've been in several bands that didn't work out, so I started writing acoustic songs about4 and a half years ago as a side project. I have accumulated nearly 60 songs in this time span. Every song i've written I have recorded on Cool Edit Pro except for one: "On Your Way (To Unhappiness)". This song was recorded in a professional studio and is my first single. This song is featured on 3 compilation CD's and is on several of my websites including www.jimgaven.com, www.myspace.com/jimgaven, www.purevolume.com/jimgaven, www.soundclick.com/bands/2/jimgaven.htm. I am in the process of getting signed to an independent label, Alamo Records, and will begin to record my first full-length album entitled, "What Was Never Said" due out late this upcoming spring. I am on several online directories and music databases and have played shows on a weekly basis, sometimes 3-4 times a week, for the past 2 years. What I am really trying to do is get my music out to a mass audience. With the help of the label, continuous shows, and now, CDbaby.net on my side, I look forward to attaining that goal.

Jim Gaven will be the next big thing
author: Darren
Jim Gaven is an amazing songwriter with the potential to give Dashboard Confessional a run for their money. My favorite song on the EP is "At First Sight", but my favorite song so far is "My Favorite Excuse", which he plays live all the time. Go see him live because Jim puts on a really great show...and most likely you'll see a lot of hot girls singing to every word with him. Yeah! *high-five*

Awesome songwriting from a young musician
author: Jim
This singer/songwriter is really captivating with his lyrics and the way he delivers his songs live. The blend of soft verses and loud choruses show his explosion into the acoustic emo genre. Definitely check him out, buy his CD, spread the word about his music. He's in line to be the next Chris Carrabba.
