As a Los Angeles-based guitarist and songwriter, Jim Vitale has made his way touring the world as a sideman, cutting tracks as a session player and writing songs featured on network TV shows.

The sideman goes solo with his debut album Love And Fate. Vitale’s sound echoes a variety of music. The Band, The Black Keys, Tom Petty, Buddy Holly, Lucinda Williams, The Beatles and many others have crisscrossed as inspirations and influences. Love And Fate has a Traveling Wilburys-at-Muscle Shoals vibe. Classic songwriting and an alt-Americana sound produce evocative songs which feel familiar and new. "I came up playing every kind of gig and played what the gigs called for on tours, sessions and countless club dates. All that was great but I needed to focus on writing songs so I could dial up the fun and turn it loose the way I know how to. This album is exactly that."

Love And Fate features some of Los Angeles’s finest players: Jeff Young (Jackson Browne, Sting) on keyboards, David Sutton (Lucinda Williams), percussionist Nelson Bragg (Brian Wilson, Sting), Christopher Jon Allis (Mike Nesmith) at the drums and Gilbert “Catfish” Mares on harmonica. Shane Soloski produced and engineered the album at Misphonia Studios and mastering was done by Brian Lucey at Magic Garden Mastering. The release date for Love and Fate was April 12, 2024.
