Jimmy Fortune toured, sang and performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years. He joined them first as a temporary replacement for Lew DeWitt, after DeWitt heard him singing at a ski resort and recommended him. Following an audition in Nashville, Jimmy was contacted by The Statler Brothers and performed his first show with them on January 28, 1982, in Savannah, Georgia. Due to the debilitating effects of Crohn’s Disease, Lew was unable to return to the stage with the Statlers, and Jimmy was hired as a permanent replacement in August of 1982. Fortune quickly lived up to his name. He wrote the group's second No. 1 hit, "Elizabeth," on their 1983 album Today, and followed that with two more No. 1 hits--"My Only Love" (from 1984's Atlanta Blue) and "Too Much On My Heart" (from 1985's Pardners in Rhyme). Fortune also wrote the top-10 hit "Forever" from 1986's Four for the Show and co-wrote the top-10 hit "More Than a Name on a Wall" from 1988's The Greatest Hits. Jimmy has performed in all of the U.S. States, in Canadian Provinces, and in front of audiences as large as 100,000. He was part of the Statlers’ annual Happy Birthday USA celebration in Staunton, Virginia, for 14 years. He also sang on many of the Statlers’ gold, platinum, and double platinum recordings. Jimmy’s career included The Nashville Network’s popular “The Statler Brothers Show” which aired for seven seasons and debuted in 1991 as the highest rated show for the network. Jimmy was privileged to perform at the White House on two occasions, once for President Ronald Reagan, and once for President George H. W. Bush. He also presented a special gift to actress Elizabeth Taylor by singing his song “Elizabeth” to her for a birthday celebration. Jimmy and The Statler Brothers were inducted into the GMA (Gospel Music Association) Hall of Fame on October 29, 2007, and inducted into the CMA (Country Music Association) Hall of Fame on June 29, 2008. Jimmy, as a solo artist, was inducted into the Virginia Musical Hall of Fame in 2018. After The Statler Brothers retired on October 26, 2002, Jimmy seized the opportunity to launch a solo career to share new music with his fans. His first solo CD, When One Door Closes, was released August 2003 on Audium/Koch. He released a gospel album, I Believe, in June 2005, a Christmas CD, Feels Like Christmas, in 2006, a live concert DVD in 2007 a country CD, “Windows” in 2009, “Lessons” in 2012. In 2015 Jimmy teamed up with the Gaither Music Group and recorded “Hits and Hymns” CD and DVD which debuted at #10 Billboard Country Album, #1 Southern Gospel, and #6 Billboard Contemporary Christian. The DVD debuted at #1 on Billboard Music Video charts. In 2017 he recorded a compilation of his favorite songs called “Jimmy Fortune Sings the Classics” on the Gaither Music label and in May 2019 they also released “God and Country” CD and DVD which won a Dove Award in 2020 for Country/Gospel/Roots Album of the Year. In 2020 Jimmy joined his friends Ben Isaacs, Mike Rogers and Bradley Walker (Fortune/Walker/Rogers/Isaacs) in recording a quartet style project that included a CD and DVD called Brotherly Love that debuted #16 Billboard (all genres) Top Album Sales on 9-19-20. Their sophomore project, Listen To The Music, was released in 2023 under the name Brothers of the Heart. It debuted #32 Billboard (all genres) and #1 Christian. Jimmy is currently living in Tennessee, writing, touring, and recording music

Jimmy Fortune concert was so moving and emotional yet upbeat and singing along with the music and even tapping those toes while snapping fingers to the great music night. I told Jimmy after they sang GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN he had my mascara running and since I was on front row and he knows me because we are both from Nelson County and so he had everyone in the theater laughing about my mascara. Jimmy is going to give his all preforming. I love that guy.
Wayne Theatre Waynesboro, VAThe venue was great, the sound system was great, the performers were great, and we were overall treated to an exceptional concert! It might just be our personal preference, but on a Sunday evening we were expecting (from Gospel music singers & groups), - more Gospel music content! ( at least 50% of the songs). We really appreciated the Patriotic songs (even though we are Canadian), we stand behind supporting our veterans of the military !)
Rockingham County Fair Harrisonburg, VAWe were at the show on 12/8; it was fantastic. We stayed late and had an opportunity to talk with Jimmy as we left. I would like to get the names of the other performers he introduced; and they were also first class. We are planning to attend the next performance in Nelson County; and expect to attend the next one at Weyers Cave. My essential comment to Jimmy was that the performance was the most emotional one that we have ever experienced.
Weyers Cave Community Center Weyers Cave, VAAbsolutely phenomenal! Jimmy Fortune has amazing talent, is a true Professional and sticks around to make sure that Everyone who wants to get a picture, autograph or hug, gets it!

Jimmy’s wife Nina, is so engaging Beautiful and such a Sweet person, taking time to talk to and listen to everyone, answering all of their questions...my words can’t describe such a wonderful couple!
