An Extra Ordinary Life: Jim Kirn


Jim Kirn is a 24-year old journalism student at Temple. Originally from Northeast Philadelphia, he attended Roman Catholic High School in the mid 2000s. Kirn first picked up a guitar at age 12 and has been playing ever since. Touring with Infernal Stronghold, he experienced what it was like being on the road and visiting different places in the country. “I dropped out of school to go on tour. I’ve done about two or three U.S. tours now,” Kirn said. Jim is an avid fan of punk, metal and 70’s hard rock. He also enjoys older hardcore bands, such a Poison Idea.

Kirn has had some pretty wild experiences while touring the country. Recalling a show in Humboldt County, California, Kirn explained how more relaxed the attitude toward marijuana is on the other side of the country. “After the show, people were just walking around openly smoking it. It was pretty crazy,” he said.
When it comes to drinking, Jim prefers to drink good, well-crafted beer, but doesn’t mind having a bottle of malt liquor, or Old Crow bourbon sometimes.
