Bio

TimChesney

My name is Tim Chesney. I was born and raised in Southern California. I have been married to my wife, Lori, for 16 years and we have two beautiful daughters, Mallory and Amanda. I started playing guitar at the age of seven, influenced by my father, Hugh Chesney, who showed me the magic that music brings to the world. I loved entertaining family and friends. I joined my schools band (Walter Knott Elementary) under the direction of Dr. Olsen, where I learned to play the trombone. I continued my music practice by joining band in Jr. High school for three years, and into High School for another two years, and also marched in many parades, and performed at many events. Also I was a member of the Jr. High and High School Jazz band. I just couldn't seem to get enough music.
While still in High School, my brother Kevin and I, along with two of our friends, formed a rock band. My brother played lead guitar, and very very well I may add, and I played bass guitar. Occasionally singing lead vocals and other times I sang harmony for the band. Our band remained together through High School and into our late 20's. Our band performed at such places as the world famous Whiskey A Go Go and The Roxy in Hollywood California. We also performed at many local clubs. At the age of 28 my brother had a car accident and was no longer able to play guitar. After my brothers accident, the band didn't seem the same and eventually sepeaated. A short time later I was asked to join a band called White Eagle as their bass player. This band had already released 3 albums and was working on their fourth when I was asked to help out. We released that album during my stay with them. Unfortunately, the founder and lead guitar and vocals Jack Pemma died suddenly. Very unexpected, the band was shocked. Again, for me another set back.
It was at that time that I decided to try my luck on my own, as I sure wasn't getting any younger. I built a small recording studio and started recording. At first I was just singing along with background tracks. But with all my years of music I had behind me, I found it more challenging as well as rewarding to do all the music myself.
After two years of recording my own music, in my little studio, I had the opportunity to go to Nashville to record my first CD. I am so excited to have had this oppertunity. I hope to be able to record another CD in the future.

Forever Grateful,
Tim Chesney

  • Good Country! It's all Tim but like Johnny C. on some songs!
    author: Bobby Floyd

    There are some great songs on this CD. Love the title song and especially the ones Tim sings in his lower register, sans a Johnny Cash sound. Find myself humming some of the songs later, after listening, like In Slow Motion.

    A great album. Production to the highest standard and well presented. Every track is a pleasure to listen to and feedback from my radio listeners endorses my opinion. Congratulations to everyone involved.

    Enjoyed every single song of this cd! My kind of country! Look forward to future cd's!

  • Not a bad one in the bunch!
    author: Betty Clutts (a true country fan!)

    Great choice of material, great backup to a real country voice. Usually find one or two tracks on a CD that are less than perfect. Not in this case! They were all good and nicely varied. Hope to hear more from Tim in the future.
