Contributor

Jim Beviglia has been writing about music for two decades, with much of that time spent as a featured writer for both the print and online editions of American Songwriter. During that time, he’s interviewed hundreds of artists for AS, from some of the biggest stars in the industry to promising up-and-comers. Jim has also written for several other music websites and has penned five books. Four were part of the Counting Down Series, which focused on the songs of top artists like The Beatles and Bob Dylan. He also penned Playing Back the 80s: A Decade of Unstoppable Hits, which featured interviews with dozens of the leading artists of the era. Jim also works in broadcasting and lives in Old Forge, Pennsylvania with his wife Marie and his daughter Daniele.
