Relentlessly optimistic, Tim brings his down-home folk-singing upbringing from the hills of West L.A. to a sincere interest in progressive thought, sound and visuals. Most of the time he’s plucking bass or cracking doumbek, but he’s also been spotted strumming a mandolin, bouzouki and (only when his older brother says it’s OK) a guitar. He finds his voice in song, in visual arts and in perfecting the ingredients and shapes of Saturday-morning pancakes.
