Introduction:

These are a few Short bios I've written in my lifetime, mostly at different points in my music career.




2010 by Timothy S. Epperhart

There’s a lot of things that i’m interested in beyond being a musician, a poet or even a crazy person. Sometimes I might spout rhetoric just to see if you’ll feed into it. I do that to my folks in real life too. To be honest I would like to post every song i’ve every written with pictures and complete lyrics as I have worked on songwriting these past 10 + years. That work be a definite plus for my fans who have followed my music career. With life and music comes change. I keep an open mind to the world around me usually. I’m by no means so stuck on myself I can’t or wont listen to other styles of music. My favorite format and style is probably “Acoustic Rock” - independently driven of course. Independent makes it possible to bloom into something much more than just a has-been on FM radio.

I know it might seem a little overwhelming for most folks who get online to search for a song they may like to find a 29 year old man with almost 250 songs available for download. Some people may even be discouraged when they see my list of songs to even listen to one. Then again, some people have told me “Yeah you hear one you hear them all” - and I can completely understand this as I am always going to be me regardless. Anyways so yeah - i’ve been recording and writing songs for a long time now. That’s not to say I actually draw a crowd or whatever when I play out. I really don’t. In fact, I hardly ever let the public know that I play out when I do. I’ve always been this way. I see myself as a recording artist before a performer, performance wise I get all f***ed up when I go out in public, I get to drinking. I forget the words to my own songs, because I have so many. It used to be like I could go out and feel good about playing my 5 favorite songs. Now it’s like I get on stage and i’m thinking about what i’m going to play and end up just jammin some sh*** on drop d.

There used to be places that i’d love to play who used to actually pay me 100.00 a night to get onstage for a couple hours and just go nuts. I f***ing loved playing that bar because they never bullshitted me on my money at the end of the night. The regulars liked me because I used to go in every other day to get drunk, play some pool and hang out, but of course this was back when I was single. Don’t get me wrong I love my fiancee and we usually have a wonderful time, but I never get to get out and play my songs, even if I did - i’m usually stuck on what I want to play over what I need to i guess.

I was playing in a band for a minute here, I learned their songs in like 2 days. It was kind of fun. Their setup was alright I guess. They didn’t want to keep me though, because I can’t stand. Which is fine - because I do have a bad knee. I suppose it doesn’t matter all the same because they had another electric guitarist who was willing to take the position as rhythm guitarist. It bothered me at first but really I have always felt more comfortable in my own skin, as opposed to working others. My music career may not had been so solitary so far as my solo work is concerned, but I guess that would make me selfish in respect to my musicianship. It doesn’t mean that I don’t like working with other musicians, it just means I haven’t done it as much.

For the love of it all - there’s a place for everyone some place. I leave to be left alone to fill the void of the endless work of the solo musician. I know i’ve written a lot of music, some songs better than my others. Really for what its worth I wouldn’t take any of it back if I could. Every single chord and note i’ve shared with all you over the past 10 years has been a learning experience. I beleive that every person has something to say, just like every star has a shine – the life inside all of us has something unique, something that draws someone in.I’ve received hundred of thousands total plays on the world wide web. The signifigance may come into question in my later years perhaps, but i’ve never forgot where I was rooted.

My story started in 1989. I was 8 years old when I got my first guitar. I’ve seen at least 6 of my songs hold number 1 positions on charts online. I’ve won contests. My “The Battle of Angband” video on youtube.coms seen over 80k viewers. To make a long story even longer, I’ve got a resume in Acoustic Folk that might impress you.

In the early 2000’s I wrote “The Invisible Man” for and released it to CDbaby- as an idea for the acronym for my name. Before I did so, I posted a few pre-recordings to garageband.com under the alias The Invisible Man. When I was recording my self-titled album I wanted to also give my “fanbase” an understanding of why I chose “The Invisible Man”- maybe it’s because you can not see what isn’t in your sight. People only hear what’s on the radio. I feel like that was the perfect personification of that same concept.

For me having lived the life of an “Underground travelling musician” most of my natural life, back in 00-2004 I i’ve always dreamed of what it would be to live my life on the edge and travel different places and actaully be seen as opposed to not. Perhaps – it’s not being seen it’s being heard and understood, & Most folks’ll hear you but wont really listen. I beleive that’s why The Invisible Man actually went crazy in althe original 1940’s movie, ld movie the old lady downstairs from the pub just wouldn’t leave him alone and when it came for them to keep on keeping on he blew the f*** up at ’em. I always found it sad that in the end of that movie the cops and towns people surrounded him (The Invisible Man) when it was them who created the monster.

That’s why I identify with Outlaws of old westerns, the ones who stole from the rich and gave back to the poor. I’ve always beleive I was born of this, which is why I am the Son of the Outlaws that birthed this idea into existence. 2005-2006 In the mid 2005-2006 era I was living in mid-missouri doing shows with Bartholomew Bean, Shannon Morris, Cory Scott and many more very talented musicians. Around this time I was in my early twenties. I played out at least on once a week. In 2006 I moved back to Florida and went through a divorce. I was in horrible condition, on anti-psychotics, Geodon, ect.

I finally found myself later that year and wrote songs here and there. Later in 2006 I moved to New York state to further pursue my career in songwritng. I moved back to Jacksonville, FL – then back to Mid-missouri to reconnect and back to Jacksonville, FL again. I wrote a lot in this time, especially in 07. In 08 and 09 I dropped my guitar to D a lot and wrote more pissed off music over all the sad E standard stuff I had been playing years before. I hated the Jacksonville music scene and still do. It’s saturated with greedy coke-head club owners who only give a f*** if your either a) a trendy rock band or b) signed and bring in masses.






I am the Musician known as "Outlaw Son" Guitarist Songwriter Timothy S. Epperhart. .... My goal in my life with my music is that someone, anyone- will hear and understand and maybe even be inspired from one of the many songs that I have written over the years. I’ve written a lot of really good songs, but I’ve recorded some pretty bad ones as well. I’m not perfect but I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes through the years, not just in music but with life. I was born in Jacksonville, FL. In 1981 and got my first guitar “Omar” in 1989 – that I named after my Great Grandfather Omar Epperhart. I only met him a handful of times early in my childhood, but he had a hearing aid that make a distinctive ringing noise. Other than that, I didn’t much know him all that well. Back in them days there was a whole lot of traveling going on with my family, going here and there. This year, 2009 makes it 20 years that I’ve had my guitar and I have been everywhere in my life with it. The industry in and of itself is composed of different levels of notoriety. The big stars we hear on the radio and see on the TV may in fact be influenced by what's happening underground for the mere fact they used to be the small guys too. For me to believe this as a big city small time folk singer is pretty hard, but I believe it to be true because no matter whom you are: It all starts with a dream! Those of us who have been here (In the underground) a very long time know where we are and live in the real world. The "industry" - to us, is quite literally living and working in the real world and living a shared existence with the rest of industrial consumers.



Timothy S. Epperharts "style" is Modern Acoustic Folk Rock with a twist of his own blend of country and mid western soul. Creatively speaking as a songwriter (And guitarist of sorts) it is simpy too difficult to just label him as a "style" player.
Genre: Folk: Modern Folk
Release Date: 2005



The Artist known as Outlaw Son is actually singer Songwriter Timothy S. Epperhart. The story of his band name is this: Outlaw Son is not perfect by any means, but I believe that is where his soul is most comfortable. He relates to a lot of old blues and folk singers in this respect. I believe it’s that true feeling you get from a recording that defines the artist. I believe that they were the original outlaws in the music industry and he is just a son of the old way. Tim spent a lot of time on the road traveling with his guitar â??Omarâ?? on a greyhound bus, back and forth from Jacksonville, FL to Missouri even out to Maine and New York for a while.

He actually spent a total of 5 years in Columbia, MO (Central Missouri) writing music and playing out wherever I could in my early twenties. He lived a hard life, a life of long travels over my father being in the military when I was young. He grew up wanting to be a traveler himself but only take in what he wanted. He
