The Heroes Behind The Hits is a fast-paced, entertaining, and educational presentation, that will change your perspective forever when you hear your favorite songs.
The show opens with a few brief video clips of Jimmy performing with hit artists. Then he picks up his guitar and showcases a series of popular hits, telling stories behind their creation and demonstrating step by step how the raw songs got refined, perfected, and turned into classics by studio musicians.
