Born a Chenango County, NY native in 1968, Tim grew up in the hills surrounding Norwich, Smyrna and Sherburne. He received his first guitar as a birthday present when he was 4 years old, and began playing for friends and family by the time he turned 8. Tim graduated from Sherburne-Earlville Central School in 1986, and began a 6-year tour of duty with the United States Marines. During his tour in the service, Tim carried his guitar to every port of call. He entertained people with his homespun style of music in Europe, the Far East, the Persian Gulf, and even in Africa. Returning home in 1992, he began playing in local bands such as the Bridgewater based group Southern Express, and Mt. Upton’s own Destiny. He honed his talents in clubs from the Adirondacks to Pennsylvania, mixing his own songs with today’s top radio favorites, as well as classics from the ‘50s and ‘60s, and everything in between. Tim’s musical influences range from Keith Whitley and Merle Haggard to Bob Seger and Pink Floyd. He counts diversity as one of his strengths, with over 200 songs in his varied repertoire. He continues to write his own brand of Country and Blues-based music, always keeping a hopeful eye on Nashville. After a brief break from public performing, Tim is re-establishing himself as one of the areas premier Singer/Songwriters. Current projects include the completion of his follow-up album, “Second Time Around” which will be available for release in the Spring of 2006. Tim and his wife, Kathy, are currently enjoying time with their new Baby girl, Emily Belle, who was born on January 6th of this year.
