accordion, harmonica, percussion and vocals. He has
written several Jump Cats originals along with the horn
arrangements on many of the tunes. Tim spent his
college years leading The Versatiles, a band that had a
repertoire of over 500 songs, could play a full set of
Top 40, Rock-n-Roll, Country, Bluegrass, Oldies, or
Heavy Metal. Despite the band contributing to Tim’s
undergraduate studies dragging out to six years, Tim
eventually graduated and moved to Indianapolis. There
he formed a six-piece folk band called High Point who
specialized in acoustic rhythms and four-part
harmonies. After eight years, High Point disbanded and
Tim was ready for some upbeat music that would draw a
dancing crowd. At this time, swing music was gaining
in popularity across the country. always interested in
exploring a new musical experience, Tim found what he
was looking for. |
