“Music is a part of being human – it’s part of our nature, our fabric, our being,” says Jim. “And every person on the planet has rhythm. It starts with our heart beats and travels everywhere with us.”

What to Expect:
Jim “Mr. Stinky Feet” Cosgrove has been uniting communities through music for nearly three decades with his interactive and high energy concerts. In this 45 minute performance, Jim delivers a dynamic combo of humor, original songs, and interactive fun to engage audiences of all ages. During every show there are several opportunities for audience participation with singing, playing percussion instruments, and lots of hoppin’ and boppin’! The Mr. Stinky Feet concert experience is always memorable with audiences and event organizers, filled with uplifting songs and messages about love, gratitude and peace.
Mr. Stinky Feet Rocks the Library
Librarians and their patrons love Mr. Stinky Feet. Some call him a “Library Hero.” The feeling is mutual. His anthem “Rockin’ the Library” and his 80s-style power ballad “Library Ann” are huge hits with the bookworms. He’s shattered the silence in the stacks from Albuquerque to Arlington, from Rapid City to Reston, and they keep inviting him back. Celebrate the joy of reading and bringing communities together. Jim is available year round for library concerts and author events.
Mr. Stinky Feet’s Christmas 
Does Santa Clause get Stinky Feet? Does he fill your stocking with a jar of peanut butter for Christmas? Celebrate the season with this high energy show featuring original songs and twists on traditional holiday classics! It’s a delightful and festive experience for the whole family.
Mr. Stinky Feet & The Hi-Tops
For larger productions, we recommend booking Mr. Stinky Feet & The Hi-Tops, voted “Best Band” in Johnson County in 2024. This dynamic trio includes Jim, his bass player, and drummer. Their playful, energetic brand of family-folk-rock and interactive shows have become a beloved audience favorite with festivals and performing arts centers across the country.
Calling all symphonies and orchestras, let’s collaborate! Introduce children to the wonder and awe-inspiring beauty of a symphony orchestra experience with Mr. Stinky Feet. Jim’s songs have been arranged by Grammy-nominated arranger Don Hart, and the charts are available for any orchestra to perform with Jim and his band. This show debuted to a sold-out crowd in 2012 with the Kansas City Symphony at the world-class Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.

“You picked me to go up on stage, and I just wanted to tell you that you really helped me with my rep, because most people make fun of my weight. So you could say you’re kind of my hero.
