About Jim Escott
Plays Keyboard
Sings Lead/Harmony
Jim was born in Red Deer in 1948 and has spent the majority of his
life in the area. From growing up on the family farm at Pine Lake -
to working in the oil field industry throughout Western Canada - to
selling Real Estate in the Red Deer area, he hasn't strayed too far
from "home". Music entered his life at an early age when he took his
first piano lessons at the age of 5. He also had accordion lessons during
elementary school years. Jim attended Holy Trinity Sunday School and
Church and in his early teens played with a couple of local bands. In 1969
he moved to Calgary for 2 and a half years and also played with a group
there. Jim and Grace were married in 1975 are have been blessed with a
daughter, a son and 2 grandsons and 3 grand daughters. In 1978 they bought
a house in Red Deer where they still reside today. Throughout his life,
music and in particular, gospel music have played a major role in Jim's
life. When Garry and Dennis suggested a country gospel group, it was a
dream come true. And even now with all changes of members over the years
the original standards are still in play.
