More About TimothyMichaels

When I was young, my friends and I wanted to start a band. Only we did not really play any instruments yet. So, we went out & bought what we could and practiced. As years passed by I became so interested in the instruments my friends had that before long I was playing all theirs as well as my own.
Fast-forward to now; I've accomplished guitars, bass, drums, vocals, pedal steel, violin and flute so far. I have toured nationally, have performed with countless local musicians, won awards for compositions and vocals and been in many a recording studio.
I play from jazz styles to a kind of Hendrix sound with a lot in between.
If you like what I do let me know. As with a lot of musicians, and anybody really, if you enjoy what they are doing and you tell them it stirs up abilities for them to produce even more.
My dream is to touch your soul while I'm here, bring a moment of a smile and perhaps find the one who designed music.
Thanks for giving me your ear.

Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

I'm not really much for busking. It is hard when you can't hear an instrument because of the surrounding noise. Most of the performance I’ve done is on a stage or in studio.

Embarrassing Moment

There is one situation of which I do not care to supply all the details. But, if your ever stepping up on stage, a stage that is about a foot off the floor and you feel your loosing your balance and falling backwards: do not grab the mic stands to keep yourself from falling.

My Instrument

My favorite instrument is a Cater 12 string universal tuned steel guitar. I never thought to give it a name but it is a pleasure to perform on. It has 7 pedals and 5 knee levers.
My second favorite instrument is my violin. Its an old fender electric which I purchased years back for a small sum of $100. I did not have much of a sound at first but it played so well! Then I went out and bought a TF Barret pickup and pre amp. I believe this is one of the best electric violin pickups money can buy.
I have a wide assortment of guitars, electric and acoustic I play. A fretted and fret-less bass and in my little studio I have a full TD Rolland drum set so when I record I use it live.
