Jim Ocean has been writing and performing for 30 years, including being a founding member and primary writer for Celtic Elvis, the Dogmatics and Placebo Domingo. His albums include "The Rise and Fall of Practically Everything" and "Hard to be Real" with Celtic Elvis, plus "Fear and Love" with the Dogmatics.

Jim writes and performs in many styles with content ranging from the humorous to serious social commentary to the spiritual—sometimes weaving all three seamlessly within one song. His latest CD release, "Pop Tunes for Mystics", due to be released in January 2010, has been described as a "secular ride through spiritual terrain". He will release a 2-CD set of satire called "Sarcology 101 and 102" in the summer of 2010, followed by “Math to Metaphor” in 2011 which blends the scientific with the spiritual.
