Tim cut his teeth in the music business in New York. He constructed, created and fronted a half dozen rock bands, recorded countless demos, a vinyl EP "El Salvador", on his Vital Vinyl label, and many live recordings.There were lightning brushes of fame with Spin magazine, college radio, and radio stations in France and Germany. In those days Tim's bands performed all over downtown Manhattan, including CBGB, Downtown Beirut, The Bitter End, Pyramid Club, Nightingales, and McGovern's Pub.There was also an amazing watering hole of a joint in midtown on Broadway, in front of the Ed Sullivan Theater, known as McGee's, before Letterman moved in and it all changed. At McGee's during 1989 -1990 the Tim Young Ensemble, played to solid sold out houses as the House band. When not playing with his bands it was possible to catch Tim as Solo Loco, busking all over town in different subway stations. These days MTY is busy writing new songs, and preparing them for a release. Something about the Arizona skies help create an atmosphere where new tunes may be grabbed out of thin air. Mighty Tim's latest release on his own Not Fade Away label is The Lucky Ones. An even dozen tunes that come alive blasted into space.
