2-21-12 Home Grown Cafe Info Erik Mitchell and the Mighty Heroes have been gracious enough to give me a spot of their time to play a set at Home Grown Cafe in Newark this Friday night. Erik Mitchell and band are scheduled to start around 10pm, after dinner ends, and I will be performing during their intermission around 11:15, 11:30. Bring your best good times cap. 2-12-12 For the Local Listening to the Homey Awards on 93.7 WSTW right now...

Fresh Thymes is located at 1836 Lovering Ave. in the "40 Acres" neighborhood of Wilmington. Homey > Grammy 2-2-12 Up for a Homey Thanks to the support and e-mails from friends and friends of friends and family and the such, I have been nominated to win a "Homey" in the category of best "Male Solo Artist." This is a local recognition awarded by Hometown Heroes, a radio show hosted by Mark Rogers from Delaware Valley's 93.7 WSTW. It's now up to the judges, but if you sent an e-mail, thanks so much, it's honor to just make it to the nomination round. Updates on the website soon to follow, but in the meantime keep in touch over at the Facebook page! 10-2-11 Last Minute Gig Can you believe it's October already? Man oh man, it's been a crazy and exciting last few months. But allow me to diverge... A few days ago I fell into a booking to open for Dawn Hiatt at the Damian Creative music series at New York Bagel Cafe & Deli in Glen Mills, PA, on next Saturday, October 8th. It's right up the road from Wilmington (literally, right up rt. 202, about 15 minutes from downtown Wilmington), and just a stone's throw from Philadelphia, near the Chadds Ford area. They have an intimate listening room set up there, so a different gear from the last few shows we have played. This will most likely be the last gig I play for a while, thus I hope you can make it out. And remember. Eat pumpkin in moderation. -Tim 9-7-11 Quick Reminder Just a quick reminder...if you haven't gotten tickets for this Saturday's show at Milkboy Coffee, be sure to do that this week!

Mmmm. Kyle Swartzwelder, with whom we shared the evening with back on July 5th, has invited us to perform as a featured act at the open mic he hosts at Burlap and Bean in Newtown Square, PA this coming Thursday night (7/21). Alice and I will be playing an extended set in between the first and second half of the open mic. Burlap and Bean is a fantastic coffee shop, created to be conducive for musician and audience. We're looking forward to the opportunity to peform there for the first time, and to hear some of the local acts perform during the open mic. I have been playing at open mics pretty regularly since the days of living in New York (Deepwells Mansion, Cool Beans, The Village Lantern, these great little nooks of my early twenties), and continue to be a huge supporter of them. I have yet to hear any musicians from this area of PA before, which makes Thursday night that more exciting to me. We'll be there from the start of the night, at 7:00pm, till the end. If you have the time, come on by Burlap and Bean, hang out and with Alice and I, listen to some music, and have a cup of joe. Heck, I'll even buy you a cup. 7-5-2011 Tonight's Gig & EP Release Back in Wilmington after a great relaxing weekend out of town. Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July. Tonight is the second gig at World Cafe Live at the Queen for the summer. I'll be joined again by Alice Marie Quirk on strings and Kyle Chismar on percussion. This is WCL's "Stagemakers" show. It's a showcase of local talent here in Delaware. We'll be sharing the evening with Nathan Surles, Battleshy Youths, and Kyle Swartzwelder. From what I've heard, it's going to be an evening of all-around great performances. These types of local music and culture support gigs are always my favorite. There's so much talent usually right under your nose. This will be a special night for another reason as well. We will be selling the "Subtle Histories" E.P. for the first time. I was all smiles when the massive box full of these showed up last week, and I've been elated to have people hear them. I'm excited that tonight we officially get to sell them. So tonight, before leaving the Queen Theater, make sure you stop by our merch suitcase, and get yourself a copy. The Cover The show starts at 7:30, we go on at 8. Don't forget to tell the doorman your there to see Tim Hein. Can't wait to see you at the show with your brand new copy of "Subtle Histories!" 6-16-2011 Wilmington Shows Tomorrow I'll be performing the first of two gigs at the World Cafe Live at the Queen Theater in Wilmington. This will be a "free at noon" spot, a spin-off of the popular series done every Friday at the World Cafe Live in Philadelphia. I'll be on the upstairs stage, where there is a restaurant and bar. I've had the food there before, its really pretty good. If you can't make this one, I'll be back on July 5th at 8p.m. for a showcase of local acts. Tonight I'm going over the tunes, re-stringing the guitar, and having a bbq. I'm excited about tomorrow. A lot of new faces coming down to the Queen. Oh! and in other news, I should have the EP's ready for sale and in my posession within the next 2 or 3 weeks. Be on the lookout for a CD release show somewhere locally in Wilmington in the coming weeks. The title of the EP has officially been set as "Subtle Histories." Hope you can make it down to the Queen Theater tomorrow or July 5th. 4-29-2011 Subtle Histories Hi there, This past Monday night in a small, empty office in an unassuming commercial building on Long Island, the final aural touches were made to the upcoming EP release. My goal now is to get the artwork completed, and the final product sent off to duplication within the next month, and to have EP's ready to go by this summer. Huge thanks to Tom Licameli of Kaleidoscope Soundworks for Mastering the tracks, as always your work is spot on. On tuesday, I dusted off my old acoustic with the pick-ups and headed down to the relatively new World Cafe Live venue at the former Queen theater in Wilmington for an open-mic. Looking back at my gigs list, its been almost a year since I've played on a stage. Even though it was just for a mere 10 minutes, it was wonderful. They have something real cool happening at the Queen, and it felt absolutely refreshing to perform again. It's time to gig again. It's time to write again. It's time for these recordings to be heard. 1-18-11 Back in the studio... A few months ago, I quietly began recording a few songs in a studio here in Wilmington. This has been an off and on process, for a while being more "off" than "on" with other things happening in my life taking some precedence over music. Yesterday I was able to get back into the wonderful little gem of a studio space, and work on the final stages of adding some parts here and there and mixing the songs. Updates on this project have been very limited, something which has been sort of a calculated move. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, or rush anything, a pitfall I've fallen into many times with music in the past. But I'm hoping now the lackadaisical approach to my workings will change. Around here, there is some buzz about this new set of recordings, and as my roommate so eloquently put it, "...dude, you have to do something with these songs. You need to get this stuff out there."
