FRISCO CIRCLE — Choose the Venue That Fits Your Moment
FRISCO CIRCLE Music...
(Blended/Crossover) Frisco Circle is a blended crossover band creating original music that “extends the Circle” through faith‑based and positive mainstream/secular styles. We meet people where they truly live, using relationship‑driven artistry and a mix of uplifting songs to open conversations.
B2J Hope Radio...
(Faith-Based) B2J Hope Radio is the FLAGSHIP outreach of The Blues2Joy Ministry Project—an Internet station built to cut through the noise with uplifting music, timely webcasts, and Biblical resources that point to the only lasting source of hope: Jesus Christ. In a world overwhelmed by distraction yet starving for truth, every song and every message is chosen to lift up Christ and invite listeners to encounter His grace, His hope, and His call to follow Him.
JW's Programs...
(Mainstream/Secular) JW (Frisco Circle's Resident "DJ"), brings listeners a thoughtful blend of music with two streaming programs that sparks reflection and opens the door to what truly matters-like where were you when you heard a certain song?. His programming weaves blues, soul, R&B with familiar hits from the ’60s through today into a smooth, inviting experience that helps listeners pause, breathe, and reconnect with the deeper rhythms. From time to time, JW creates playlists for selected decades. JUST PERFECT ! ...
Frisco Roadhouse Radio...
(Mainstream) Frisco Roadhouse Radio isn’t just another internet stream—it’s a throwback to when music had grit, stories had weight, and radio felt like a friend riding shotgun. It’s a home for original music, late‑night soul, and the kind of voices that sound like they’ve lived a little.
The station runs on three engines: JW keeping the Circle burning hot, Cross‑Tie kicking up dust with One‑Eyed Fred, and Don Paul steering the Roadhouse with a steady hand. Together, they built what listeners call “The Best Music EVER Recorded.” It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s still rolling strong.
About Us
The Frisco circle Band Project....
Born out of a shared drive to stretch creativity, Jim and Rob (Houston,Tx) co‑founded The Frisco Circle Band Project as a space for songwriting, recording, Internet radio, and exploring a wide range of musical styles across both faith‑based and mainstream genres. Later, Don Dickinson (Raleigh,NC) & Dave Eifert (Cleveland,OH) joined the team to add some much needed collaboration. Frisco Circle is the newest expression of that vision—an evolving blend of original music shaped by collaboration, craft, and a desire to reach listeners where they truly live.
Jim Massey ("JW")...
Jim’s musical journey began at age six, when his dad brought home a Sears acoustic guitar and taught him the basics—wisdom passed down from his own years playing in Texas Swing bands in the late 1930s and the post‑WWII era.
As a teenager in the 1960s, Jim played in popular regional bands and shared stages with artists such as B.J. Thomas, B.B. King, Bobby “Blue” Bland, and Albert Collins. After a season of service in the U.S. Army, he stepped away from performing for a time, returning in the late 1980s to help form two successful stage bands that remained active until 2020, when the pandemic brought live music to a halt.
Through every chapter, one passion has stayed constant: songwriting and recording. Jim continues to pour his heart into creating original music shaped by a lifetime of experience, influences, and the spark first lit in his family’s living room.
Rob Harper ("Sticks")
Rob has spent most of his life behind a drum kit, shaping a musical voice that’s both precise and expressive. His career began more than 25 years ago in regional bands, where he developed the skill, feel, and discipline that define his playing today. Since 2008, he and Jim have shared the stage in multiple groups, building the kind of musical chemistry that only years of collaboration can create. Rob’s drumming is unmistakable—his touch is almost melodic, his grooves captivating, and his presence the steady heartbeat of Frisco Circle.
Our Roots...
The Frisco Circle Story..
Frisco Circle draws inspiration from the old hobo camps of Depression‑era America, where travelers brought whatever provisions they had and placed them into a shared circle. No one had much, but everyone contributed, and everyone was cared for.
In our ministry, the ‘circle’ becomes a picture of the Kingdom of God—Everybody contributes; everybody benefits..
Our Historical Inspiration..
THE MELODY BOYS TEXAS SWING BAND
This photo was taken in 1936 in Galveston, Texas. That’s my dad on the bass fiddle and my uncle in the center with the fiddle. Family stories say they later traveled with some of the great Texas Swing bands of that era.
When I was a boy in east Houston, I remember the night Little Jimmy Dickens—Nashville legend and Grand Ole Opry member—came to our home. My dad, Jimmy D., Uncle Cesar, and a few others jammed in our living room until the early hours. I had an old Sears acoustic guitar, and they let me sit in.
That night changed everything. I was hooked, and I never looked back.
Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Uncle Cesar. And thank you, Jimmy D., for lighting the spark.
