Tim began performing in front of people as early as first grade singing a solo part at a school concert. He was immediately hooked on the magic that happens between a performer and an audience. Raised on a mix of The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, Frank Sinatra (and many others), he developed a love for harmonies and many styles of music.

In the mid-nineties, Tim played nearly 200 shows per year in the Rochester based band, “The InBetweens”. From the days of playing three to four shows per week, then three to four shows a year when his kids were small, to three to four shows a month in recent times with his band, “Two Hour Delay”, Tim continues to find a balance between the family and day job and his musical aspirations. Along the way, he has written over fifty songs and released three albums of music. In addition to performing with his band, Tim continues to play solo shows and seeks opportunities to share the stage with other singer/songwriters and local musicians.

Tim’s band “Two Hour Delay” began playing shows regularly in 2008. They play an Americana mix of originals and covers. “Two Hour Delay” plays mostly around the Syracuse scene, but also branches out to the Rochester, Utica and Ithaca areas. They have opened for bands such as Rusted Root, Donna the Buffalo, Floodwood, Assembly of Dust, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage. In 2014, they were the runner-up of the Syracuse Area Music People’s Choice Award.

Notable quotes:

“Two Hour Delay is rocking the socks off the rest of the field… Deftly blending influences from blues, folk, country, bluegrass and good ol’ rock’n’roll, Two Hour Delay has produced a dynamic disc of amazing Americana.”
Russ Tarby, The Eagle

“If you’re hungry for the rootsy taste of Americana, Two Hour Delay’s self-titled debut CD yields a batch of catchy… and astoundingly solid songs.”
Andrew Daull – Syracuse New Times

“The process of writing original music and rearranging classic B-sides has resulted in a sonic smelting process that has forged the band’s endearing, signature sound.”
Matt Mumau – Syracuse New Times
