"You're way better than the usual white guy with an acoustic guitar!" is a compliment Tim Blane hears often. Armed with pop hooks, a soulful voice, and a songwriting style seeped in jazz, rock, and blues, Blane has a sound both refreshing and memorable. Blane's sound brings to mind artists like Jason Mraz,
Ryan Adams, Peter Gabriel, and Lyle Lovett.From bouncy sing-a-longs to intense piano ballads to country-tinged rockers, Tim's songs leave the listener smiling and singing along.
Blane's musical background of jazz piano, classical violin, and rock guitar led him to study songwriting and performance at the famous
Berklee College of Music. Since then, Tim has been entertaining audiences all over eastern America with his accessible stage presence, dry wit, and soulful voice… From the Middlesex Anvil: "His mellow voice and songs were just altogether...melting, " exclaimed a junior girl. "We LOVED Tim Blane!" screamed two sophomore girls, jumping up and down.
Since the release of "In the Meantime," Blane has been touring colleges and clubs intensively. Tim was a finalist in the Starbucks/ NEMO songwriting competition, as well as a featured performer in the 2006 NEMO conference in Boston. He was also hired in 2006 by super-producer Scott Storch to write custom ringtones for Pepsi.
As one critic put it "…this is the kind of music that makes you want to roll down the windows, take down the top, and turn up the CD
player!"
