Timeline

James Arnott “Jimmy” Gaudreau is a singer and mandolinist playing traditional and progressive bluegrass music.

He is best known for his solo albums, and his work with The Country Gentlemen, Tony Rice, and J. D. Crowe.

In high school in the '60s, Gaudreau performed as a professional musician, playing electric guitar in his band Jimmy G & the Jaguars.

The band played dances and Saturday nights at his uncle's Rhode Island beachfront restaurant.

During the folk boom, Gaudreau became interested in bluegrass music.

When he started playing the mandolin, he used guitar fingering techniques, giving him his unique sound.

Gaudreau moved to the Washington, DC area from his native Rhode Island in 1969 to become a member of the Country Gentlemen, replacing John Duffey and joining Charlie Waller, Ed Farris, and Eddie Adcock.

In his first stint with the band, he contributed to two albums: New Look New Sound and One Wide River.

1971

In 1971, Eddie Adcock (banjo) assembled the progressive bluegrass band II Generation with Gaudreau, Bob White (bass), and Wendy Thatcher (guitar).

II Generation was known for extended jams, and they called their music "newgrass."

1973

Gaudreau formed Country Store in 1973 with Keith Whitley (guitar), Carl Jackson (banjo), and Bill Rawlings (bass).

Later, Jackson was replaced by Jimmy Arnold, and Whitley was replaced by Chris Stifel.

1992

In 1992, Chesapeake, featuring Gaudreau, Mike Auldridge, T. Michael Coleman, and Moondi Klein, released three critically acclaimed albums on the Sugar Hill label.

With no banjo, they were more acoustic country than bluegrass.

1994

In 1994, Gaudreau produced Mandolin Artistry: Vol 1.: Young Mando Monsters, an album showcasing Ronnie McCoury, Adam Steffey, Radim Zenkl, Emory Lester, Wayne Benson, Dan Tyminski, Raymond Legere, and Alan Bibey.
