Tim Ward Jr.
Overview
Hello! My name's Tim Ward Jr. I'm a singer, guitarist and songwriter with over 15 years of performance experience. I'd love to provide live music to enhance your event, be it a milestone birthday, a seasonal bash, an intimate wedding ceremony, a surprise engagement, or a cozy house concert.
Depending on the event, space, and budget, I play solo acoustic sets (guitar, voice, harmonica) up to 5-piece full band setups, and combos in between. My repertoire accentuates rock, folk, pop, and original compositions, and I've got the versatility to learn and play a wide variety of songs. Reach out if you'd like to talk about your event and how I can help make it a memorable experience!

October 5, 2024A+ experience!
Hiring Tim for our intimate wedding ceremony was the best decision I made that day besides saying”I Do!” He was dressed for the part, extremely professional, his communication was top notch, he took a few requests, he completely understood the vibe of the evening, and he is excellent at what he does!!!!! Highly highly recommend. Initially he was way out of our budget, but after searching for the perfect solo musician it seemed spending the extra money was what we needed to do. It was worth it, just hire him!!!

Tim played our Bucknell st block party. It was great! Tim did two sets. He was professional, fun, prompt and easy to work with. I had never scheduled a musician before and didn't really know what to expect so I was prepared for anything. Tim arrived and it was effortless from there on. I got to be just another face in the crowd having a good time. The whole block had a blast. We can't wait to have him back!

About
Tim Ward Jr. is a dynamic songwriter, guitarist and singer from Bucks County, PA, who now resides in the Catskills of New York. After years spent honing his musicianship and stage presence with rock cover bands, Tim broadened his focus and began composing, recording and incorporating his own songs into performances. In (phone number hidden)1, Tim enlisted a team of area musicians and producers to create and independently release his first original EP, "Ways Forward". The journey of promoting this work has led him to share stages with a breadth of like-minded souls, including seasoned greats Loudon Wainwright III and Deana Carter and modern folk troubadours The Arcadian Wild.
Tim's songs encapsulate a range of rock-based influences, from 90s alternative and modern indie to classic rock throwbacks, incorporating a touch of pop sensibility that his producer has dubbed "humanist folk pop." Whether solo, in the company of a 5-piece band, or somewhere in between, Tim's performances move across a spectrum from hushed fingerpicked odes and sweetly strummed ballads to galloping folk tales and raucous rockers. While not shying away from complexity, Tim's music remains accessible to all-ages audiences.
Additional booking notes
Technical needs vary depending on the setting of the event and the number of pieces.
For a trio setup as an example: we are able to supply our own sound setup and simply require ready access to at least one AC power source. For outdoor events that last past sunset, we do ask that some overhead lighting be available in the staging area.
Risers and overhead light rigging are a plus for larger events but not required.
