Bio

Tim started writing songs in the 90’s as a way to make sense of the world. He studied the craft in earnest while getting his degree in classical music composition, and cemented his style while volunteering at a monastery and school near New Orleans.

His music layers an eclectic mix of styles to create a sound with modern grooves, catchy melodies, and a sense of being grounded in deep roots. He’s known for his percussive guitar work, capo-wizardry, and an expressive voice big enough to fill any room.

Tim’s lyrics are heartfelt and honest, bringing audiences with him to explore concepts of family, self-doubt, hope, grief, and the many facets of love. He looks to music as a source of healing and puts that magic to work at each performance so listeners leave with more than they expected to find. Tim’s calm and passionate presence, combined with his thoughtful song-craft, make him a favorite of intimate listening rooms.

Reviews

“Tim Cheesebrow’s voice is both gentle and strong, vulnerable and confident in his album, Somebody, Somewhere, a delicately unassuming collection of songs which take their time and are a fine example of what can result when music is allowed to be molded carefully, crafted by hand, and guided by heart. This is a solid Americana/country-rock album.”

“You Will Never Walk Alone is so well crafted and warmly produced that I almost forgot to review it the first time around. The underlying sentiment of the song is beautiful, valuable and important. The song has depth and is reflective in an honest and emotionally human sort of way. That meeting of the professional side of music making and the open, authentic side of being an artist has been really well captured. Tim Cheesebrow has written a great song and it’s highly likely that the rest of the Somebody, Somewhere album will follow suit.”

“The album is a classy blend of good production, well thought out lyrics, snappy rhythms, quality vocals, excellent guitar playing and a liberal dose of Great Lakes heart. I liked it a lot, and I’m betting you will too.”

Configurations

Tim plays most shows as a solo act. His sound is large enough to comfortably fill most spaces. 

He also plays as a duo with the following performers:
Pete McCauley – Mandolin – together Tim and Pete are “The Mac and Cheese Band” delivering Irish tunes and pub classics. 

Matt Blake – upright Bass – A powerhouse rendition of Tim’s original material with funky grooves and uplifting choruses that will leave you saying…”woah…”

Chris Herriges – Tim plays bass in this duo specializing in classic, what some might term “yacht rock.” A great fit for a summer party, casino floor, or your local bar. 

When the situation warrants a larger band, Tim brings his buddies to the stage and can accommodate any setup….rock band, string band, you name it!
