Jim Christiansen and Alan Mickelson began their entertainment careers in 1962 playing 

"Folk Songs", the music that echoed the sprit of the times.  For several years they 

performed in various west coast venues eventually going their separate ways.  In 1995 

they resurrected their act and have since presented hundreds of shows to a variety of 

audiences from State and County Fairs to lodges and nightclubs.

The JIMnALAN Show is acoustic music in the 50's and 60's tradition of The Kingston 

Trio, The Limeliters, and Peter Paul & Mary, to the comedy of The Smothers Brothers

and Pat Paulsen.   The music  selections slide easily into songs of the West from the 

influences of Bob Wills, Gene Autry, and the Sons of  The Pioneers, to 40's and 50's 

pop ballads.

Acoustic guitars, upright bass, banjo, lots of humor, and BIG harmonies make 

The JIMnALAN Show an act to entertain not only the "Boomers" but also a whole 

new generation  of young people.
