BIOGRAPHY |
||||||||
I have been performing as a singer/guitarist for over 30 years. In addition to performing, I am a high school English Teacher in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Since I was six years old and heard Bob Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline” album, all I’ve ever wanted to do is play guitar and sing songs. Looking back, I think it was the words that grabbed me and held on. I have always been drawn to narrative as well as the sound and rhythm inherent in language. I wanted to be able to tell stories through song--to paint with words and soundscapes. Playing guitar and singing have been constants throughout my life. I played my first gig at age 15 in 1978 in a band called “The Sound Expressions”. We were horrible but I was hooked. I began to perform as a solo singer/guitarist (as well as in duos) beginning in 1982 and have not stopped since. My first CD “North of North” was released in 1993. My second CD “Oh My” was released in November 2008. The fine print: Tim Brown is a singer/songwriter performing primarily in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas. He has performed solo and in a variety of duos over the past 25 years. His album of original songs “North of North” received significant airplay throughout the midwest and in the west. His song “Fill in the Void” broke into the top twenty (#16) of the Soundclick folk charts. Brown has appeared as the opening act for groups as divergent as Blood, Sweat, and Tears and Iron Butterfly. Most recently, Brown was a finalist in the Highway 61 Folk Festival Songwriting contest. |
