Tim plays Slide

"...an artist I admire enormously"
-
Paul Jones, Jazz FM
Driven by WORX, a rhythm section which powerfully melds the flavours of Chicago
and Jamaica, Tim will rock you with favourites like "Crazy 'bout an
Automobile," and roll you with his dub workout of the classic "Need your love
so bad".
Tim gets to work on his er... hair
|
Tim is a vibrant performer, and has worked with the best on both sides of the
Atlantic. In San Francisco he gigged with John Lee Hooker's daughter Zakiya,
Jefferson Starship's Pete Sears and sat in with the Bay Area's best. His
history includes playing guitar behind top reggae artists and opening for Chaka
Khan, Tony Joe White and Curtis Stigers. Back home, he regularly works
with the likes of Papa George and Robin Bibi.
Tim will often improvise a lyric onstage, later crafting this as
minimalistically as possible, into one of the Blues/reggae hybrids for which he
is known. His passion for 'roots' music has taught him the value of simplicity,
and that, above all, a song is a means of communication.
He has co-written with Narada Michael Walden, who has written and
produced hits for Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin and George Michael to name but
a few; and Maggie Ryder (You're the Voice); Kit Hain (Dancing in the City);
Zakiya
Hooker (Daughter of blues legend John Lee) amongst others.
John Adams, who runs The Bottleneck Blues Club, one of the country's finest,
says,
"Tim really mixes it! As well as being a brilliant guitarist he has a great
voice and injects a 'world' feel into his music."
In summing up, the last word must go to Bob Marley,
"One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain..."
