Jim Lemke

Jim started out playing on the L.A. scene in the 70s and played many of the local Los Angeles clubs, including the Troubadour and the Roxy and developed a certain “style” from playing music with his school mates including Ed King (Strawberry Alarm Clock and Leonard Skinner), as well as Scott Gorham (Thin Lizzy).
He spent time in the Caribbean as a singer and songwriter in the "Randy Tar" band…this group released six CD’s. He still carries that Island flare in his music.
Jim moved to the Surprise, Arizona in 2008. He missed playing music with his friends and band members from The Randy Tar Band and found other like-minded musicians. Eventually, Jim formed “Like Minds”. The band became one the most popular classicrock bands in the Phoenix west Valley area.
After 5 years, Jim elected to leave “Like Minds” and return to his acoustic roots teaming up with , Joe Malinovsky, and “Acoustic Manarchy” was launched.
