June 8, 2026Backyard party was perfect!
Tim and his band mates were outstanding! I found them on Gigsalad and requested them for our gathering in our backyard. They were the highlight of our party! The set list was exactly what we were looking for. They persevered through some rain for the first hour and didn’t miss a beat! I would hire them again in a second. They have my highest endorsement!
Hired as: Country Band, Cover Band, Singing Guitarist

May 26, 2026Top tier talent, multiple configurations
I’ve seen Tim perform in various configurations of his band and in many different settings (country, cover, acoustic etc). He always reads the room well to make sure he understands where the music fits into the vibe. Almost every time I’ve seen Tim, the audience is asking for more when he wraps. Oh yeah, the quality of the music is top tier. All of these qualities are why I have hired him in the past and will again.
Hired as: Acoustic Band

May 22, 2026All-round Awesome!!!!
Tim is not only a super talented creative, he is also an engaging entertainer and a wonderful human that can bring the audience and other musicians together in a way that is magical. Tim’s original songs are fantastic and he really makes cover songs his own. We recently had the gift of Tim’s support to organize, host and perform for a fundraising event and it exceeded my expectations. Tim went above and beyond to bring the heart, the fun, the energy and creativity to really make the event a success. So great to work with!

May 21, 2026Amazingly Talented Band!!!
We hired Tim and his band at the last minute to play for a graduation party and could not have been more surprised and pleased with their performance. We go watch live music quite often and they are at the top of the list when it comes to talent. The guests at the party kept chipping in to have the band play longer if that tells you anything. Not only are they talented but all were extremely nice guys. Wont be surprised to hear them on the radio someday!
Hired as: Cover Band

May 21, 2026Tim's great with other musicians and solo
Tim has played at our venue many times. (He's always responsive and punctual.) He has played solo and with a variety of other musicians. Our patrons have become fans and even make it a point to come when he's on the calendar.
He can play a wide variety of music (will learn requests on short notice) and is very personable, funny and connects well with the audience, which is why I thought to ask him to emcee a fundraising "Hootenanny" that involved wrangling 20 musicians. He did it effortlessly.
He's just a very likable, flexible, talented guy. I love working with him and have become a big fan of his music: both cover choices and his originals. (Absolutely invite him to play some of his originals!)

What to expect
My friends and I love to move the night along with some familiar tunes that you recognize as well as some reimagined covers that carry a little different weight.
Expect a lot of fun, some beautiful moments and some really high energy dance-along moments, and a bit of rock throughout.
We tend to move between being a country band, a funk band, a jam band, a soul/gospel band throughout the duration of a show. It’s never boring, and always worth seeing
