Jim Eppolito

Jim Eppolito's unwavering passion for live music has been the driving force behind the incredible success of West Coast Music for more than three decades. With a clear vision in mind, he set out to establish a music services business that would not only meet but exceed the record industry standards of quality & reliability. Through sheer dedication to excellence, Jim has transformed West Coast Music into a nationally renowned, full-service production company that is synonymous with exceptional live music experience.

Jim connects with each discerning client by uniquely translating their music preferences into the most “appropriately cast” music ensemble or band, then organizing and scripting the evening so that the music program significantly enhances the event - interfacing with food service, speakers or other presentations.
