Prose: Jimmy Showers:
Jimmy Showers is a Detroit-based guitarist, poet, and songwriter best known for his work with the indie-folk trio Jackamo. He earned a B.A. in English (Honors) from Wayne State University in 2024. While at Wayne State, he was part of the AGRADE program, which allowed him to take graduate-level classes early and further refine his craft as a writer. As a poet, his lyrical sensitivity naturally complements his musical style, shaping the introspective, harmony-driven sound of Jackamo — deeply rooted in storytelling, emotional honesty, and close collaboration with the Wiercioch sisters.
