Live Friday at Noon: Jim Boggia

Boggia would spend hours in his room, as a child, listening to records and trying to emulate the sounds on his guitar. Born legally blind in his left eye and the sight in his right eye receding over the years, his ears have become a powerful tool. Since then he has collaborated with the likes of Aimee Mann, Juliana Hatfield and Bernadette Peters.
