Tim Aylesworth is a Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist from Kingston Ontario Canada.
He has just released his thirdCD "Release the Lion" recorded in his home studio "Rushin' Draggin'"
Tim fell in love with the guitar at about 10 years old, learning most of the chords from a Beatles songbook. As a teenager he sang and played guitar and drums in rock bands.
In his early twenties, Tim decided that the rock and roll lifestyle wasn't for him and concentrated on family life while continuing to write songs and record music. His tapes, featuring Tim playing all the instruments were circulated to friends and family.
In 2005 Tim released his self-produced debut CD "I Will" blending elements of Folk, County, Celtic and Jazz anchored by lyrical guitar playing.
Tim set up his home studio "Rushin' Draggin" in March 2006 and in 2007 released his second CD "Dream of Sleep".
A little more rock and roll has crept into Tim's third CD, "Release the Lion", releases in March 2011
He also loves his ongoing gig as the guitar player for Open Voices Community Choir
I love to play live usually as a solo act - contact me for bookings!
I love all kinds of music from classical to metal. The main influences in my music are the great singer/songwriters from the 70s like James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Jim Croce. But other stylistic influences creep into my musis as well! I also love to rock!
My stage guitars are a Seagull Acoustic cutaway and a Crafter hybrid guitar. My recording acoustic is a 1963 Gibson J50. For electric gigs I use a 1973 Aria Crestwood through a Tubeworks TubeDriver amp.
