His passion and dedication to his art shine in everything he touches. He’s played all over the world and has written music for everything from solo pieces to orchestras. From 20 10 to late 2023\, Tim was a member of the United States Army Band “Persh ing’s Own” in Washington\, DC\, where he served as keyboard player\, arr anger\, and music director for the pop commercial music group Downrange. Outside of the Army Band\, he was deeply involved in the DC music scene \, where he played with the finest musicians in the area\, including Len a Seikaly\, Tommy Cecil\, Chuck Redd\, Paul Pieper\, Tedd Baker\, Lyle L ink\, Kenny Rittenhouse\, Kris Funn\, Elijah Jamal Balbed\, Donvonte McC oy\, Victor Provost\, Mark Prince\, Zack Pride\, Tom Baldwin\, Paul Lang osch\, The Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra\, and others. As a highly res pected bandleader\, his groups have presented sold-out concerts at Blues Alley\, The Kennedy Center\, Twins Jazz\, the Smithsonian\, and the Str athmore Music Center. In late 2023\, Tim returned home to Milwaukee and quickly re-established himself as a musical force in the Midwest.

Versatility is so important these days\, and he is equally at home writing music fo r an orchestra as he is writing for a jazz quintet.

While an ardent student and practitioner of improvised Black American Music\, John’s music also has deep roots in Rock\, Folk\, and Americana. Conten t to have his bass playing compared to Charlie Haden’s lyricism\, as in reviews for Johannes Wallmann’s latest album Precarious Towers\, he’s al so happy to have comparisons difficult to find. His compositions strive toward a hopefulness and appreciation for the beauty and awe of life\, a nd the wonder of small\, important things.

She recently toured with soul and R&B artist\, Durand Jones\, who opened for country musician\, Orville Peck\, on his North A merican “Stampede Tour”.
