Jimmy Skaffa

Jimmy Skaffa rose away of Omaha, NE to be among the Midwest’s most acclaimed ska rings. Shaped in 1992 by ex-members of regional ska rings Knuckle Junction and Porkpie Conspiracy, Jimmy Skaffa gradually added people until it reached its current roster of ten players, highlighted by an excellent horn section as well as the fetching vocals of business lead vocalist Robin Goodwin. The team hit the bottom running — liberating a self-produced eight-song cassette, No one Tells a Navy Man He’s Experienced A great deal to Drink, in 1993 and touring thoroughly, playing with rings just like the Wailers, Dark Uhuru, the Toasters, Let’s Proceed Bowling and Murphy’s Legislation. Another two recordings had been offered up by Omaha’s Two Olive Martini Information, the 1996 7″ Bitch on Weekend and their full-length debut, Cliché. The next phase for the music group was to visit national, that they did by putting your signature on with ska/golf swing giants Slimstyle and liberating their second full-length recording, Six Bullets Recent Midnight, in 1999.
