Jim Ciampi has enjoyed being a performing musician since college and has been the leader of his own band since 1988. After returning to his hometown of Portland, via Boston College, he established the first music program at his alma mater, Cheverus High School. He continued to lead a top flight dance band while teaching, and then moved into the business sector of designing and managing events.His true passion for performing and event management allowed him to pursue a dream of establishing a premier event facility, which became The Landing at Pine Point in Scarborough ME, producing hundreds of events, weddings and national concert artists.
Today, his focus is on being a performer as he continues to lead The Jim Ciampi Band, a versatile engaging 8-piece dance band, as well as performing as a soloist and in smaller combos throughout New England. The newest project "Keys to the City Dueling Piano Showcase” came into view in early 2017. He always wanted to create a vibrant offshoot of his dance and listening projects and this was the perfect mix of theater, comedy and fantastic music. He enjoys providing entertainment with the variety of styles that compliment an elegant, sophisticated & festive atmosphere.
