Inspired by the Hillbilly and Western Swing music he heard as a child, Tim absorbed late Fifties Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll, Hawaiian and Mexican music, early Sixties Folk, and Bluegrass “like a sponge” before discovering a passion for traditional blues styles which was fueled by seing many first generation blues musicians live during the “Blues Boom” of the mid and late Sixties.
Tim has toured over much of the world , bringing his expertise on old-school blues and other roots styles to delighted audiences at every stop. Working since his teens with roots music legends including Earl Scruggs and Lightning Hopkins has given him an overview of blues, and roots guitar styles in general, that is almost unsurpassed.
