JIM CRUISE – “THE SPOON MAN”

About Me

I have been playing the spoons for over 35 years (never had a social life) and professionally for over 25 years. I’m married with 5 kids and a mortgage and support my family by playing the spoons! Only in America :)

I Am

WILLING TO TRAVEL

Based out of West Michigan, I am willing to travel , and have performed my shows all over continental USA, Alaska, and even Moscow, Russia! My program is ideal for corporate events, fairs, festivals, schools, and libraries. I also offer spoon playing workshops for smaller venues. My specialty is family venues.

I have a unique performance based around playing spoons and other types of silverware. Depending on the venue “Flaming Spoons” may be a part of my program. I consider myself to be a musical interactive comedian using audience participation throughout my program.

I have also produced the first ever Instructional Video on How To Play The Spoons, appropriately titled “Music From The Kitchen”. I have also published a book titled “Spoon Boy” Both my book and video can be purchased here!
