20 years is a lifetime in the music business.
Having been off the music radar for two decades, Jim Stringer - singer/songwriter with 80s Mancunian indie footsoldiers The Monkey Run - is back from exile with his new project Summerland.
Jim has crept back into the daylight with a brand new, finely crafted set of songs - ready to launch the good ship Summerland in 2010. Spinning tales of love, lust, deception, self-doubt and the perpetual quest for a frequently flawed concept of truth, Summerland's songs reflect the maturity that comes with 20 years of observing life with a knowing, cynical eye.
"You live a bit, lose people, learn a lot - the stories you have to tell are much richer for the experiences you carry with you. The time feels right to share this"
