Jimmy - Drums
Jimmy Knapp is the founder and band leader of The Toys. Over 10 years ago, Jimmy had a vision to be an 80’s alternative dance band. So we set our course in putting together the pieces we all know today as The Toys. Well 10 years later, lots of hard work and wild, crazy nights, the band he envisioned not only became a reality but one of the top drawing bands in the state of Wisconsin thanks to great support of so many friends.
By day Jimmy is VP of construction products for a great company called Hallmark and a partner in a world class consulting firm with one of his best friends and mentor, Joe…
Jimmy’s success with The Toys is one of many including a very successful run with country act Whiskey River as well as winning the 1991 Mr. Wisconsin Title in Body Building…
I Am Real, Honest, Ethical, and I AM truly a country music fan. Like Tim McGraw says… Live Like You were Dying…
