Why this name?
My Mom
Do you play live?
I don't play live. My routine: 1. I write songs. 2. I record adequate demos to portray the songs 3. Write more songs.
I'm hoping that providence will bring my tunes together with a producer, voice and band that can carry them. If you are interested in publishing, producing, recording, or performing any of my music, please contact me through my webpage.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It opens it up
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Nope. Not anymore.
Band History:
Tim writes songs as a sort of journaling. “My dad died when I was 18. I often say that he died while he was still stupid." (Pauses to let the listener figure out who was the stupid one.) "I never had the presence of mind to ask him what he thought about life. I missed my chance to know him. That’s why I write. I figure, some day my kids might change their mind, and decide that they do care what I think. If that happens, there’ll be some kind of record. They may not dance to it, but I hope they’ll catch themselves humming the tune.”
Recently he has begun to submit his music for use in venues other than his journal. “Some of these songs flowed so quickly, that I began to feel like I was holding onto something that wasn’t mine”. A recent song, written right after 9-11, is one of these. “Look to You” speaks to the choices we make when we respond to hatred and tragedy, and to the significance of the individual's response.
