Bio
Tim has performed as a guitarist/singer for over a decade, both with bands and as a solo act.
With a healthy influence of Folk, Classical, Latin Jazz, Flamenco and Blues Guitar, his current live repertoire consists of an eclectic mix of guitar based music.
His band consists of Rohan Drew on bass guitar and percussion and Andy Fitzpatrick on Baritone guitar and backing vocals.
Tim completed his Bachelor of Music (Jazz guitar) at Monash University, Victoria in 2000.
Since this time he has worked as a classroom music teacher, composer and session musician.
Most recently Tim has been focusing on his solo career as a guitarist; he has performed solo shows in Ecuador, Costa Rica and India.
In late 2006 he toured Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium for five months as guitarist for folk group 'Naked Raven', during this time he also performed 30 solo shows throughout Germany.
Tim has recently released his debut LP 'Afterparty' through T3 records (Europe) and has just completed a two month long tour of Germany and East Coast Australia. He is currently in the studio preparing an LP due for release in Australia in June 2008.

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Feel free to download my music!
