notes
Every since Tim can remember he’s always had an intense passion for music. Like most he grew up listening to Motown and was truly inspired but what really did it for him were sounds like Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song”, John Coltrane’s version of “My Favorite Things” and the soundtrack of “The Westside Story”. You see his sisters were the main suppliers of the music he was exposed to early on. As a result Tim was introduced to a healthy myriad not to mention styles of music. Mind you he still grooves to several genres but truth be told at heart he’s a straight up rocker. Originally Tim was homegrown in Philadelphia, PA as for now he’s anchored in Leesburg, VA.“Through internalizing I discovered music as an excellent means of self- expression and a positive outlet for creativity, the rest as they say is history”. Foremost is his guitar; he currently has a Stratocaster and a Takamine G series acoustic. Additionally he plays keyboards, in particular an Alesis QS 6.1. To piece it all together he runs Logic Audio Pro and Reason on his MAC G5 computer. When Tim needs to take “his band” on the road he packs it all up in his iBook. As a rule he doesn’t listen to mainstream artists. All the music he downloads comes from artists that generally speaking most people will never hear. In his opinion, there are TONS of great indie and unsigned stuff on the Net that are just as entertaining if not more so.

Simply Fantastic
author: leedsquietman/umbriel risingHaving known Tim's music for quite some time at various popular websites and given how much I loved Dreamdust, Tim's previous CD release, the bar was set very high for my expectation of this record and Spark lives up to my expectations and some...Amazing range of songs that encaptures searing prog rock, delta blues, caribbean island, marching band, alternative rock and some serious jazz fusion influences with some amazing rhodes and organ playing. Tim is an outstanding guitarist, his playing oozes emotion and flavour and versatility. Tim can be the 'Guitar Hero' shredder, the elegant but impressive 'slowhand' type of Clapton leads, simple blues riffs or complex jazz chords and Spark expresses his excellent range of guitar skills, which even in their hardest, fastest, searing overdriven moments are done tastefully and compliment the music, rather then crass, flashy riffs. Looking forward to Blue Collar Girls with a vengeance !
