Since releasing his debut independent EP We Begin on July 1, 2009 to a packed house at World Cafe Live (downstairs) in Philadelphia, Tim Williams has since been building a loyal and enthusiastic fan base by relentlessly touring. His tireless desire to reach as many people as possible keeps him on the live music circuit constantly - playing 250+ live shows annually.
A mainstay at Philly's Bourbon Blue on Sunday Nights and renowned local venues World Café Live and Tin Angel, Tim regularly embarks on national solo acoustic tours, having played such major markets as NYC, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Las Vegas, Nashville, Cleveland & Atlantic City. Since the release of We Begin, he has shared the stage with Nationally Acclaimed Recording Artists Ryan Star, Diane Birch, Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies) & Jeffrey Gaines among many other well-respected regional/national acts. Tim has received solid regional radio play thanks to 93.7 WSTW's Mark Rogers of Hometown Heroes, Wendy Rollins at Radio 104.5 FM Philadelphia & 93.3 WMMR's Jaxon's Local Shots the Podcast. Tim's music is regularly featured on the national radio program MyFixItUpLife.com and in 2009 he was cast in a regional production of the rock musical RENT (starring Brian Bortnick of Octane-fame), adding to his extensive film/TV/theater resume.
In October 2010, Tim recorded and released his first single since We Begin, "Back Again", which recevied considerable airplay on 610 WIP, ESPN Radio 97.5 The Fanatic and 93.7 WSTW.
In February 2011, he launched a short-lived band: Tim Williams and The Delicate Few. Their single, "My Fix It Up Life", was produced by Philly-favorite Matt Santry and was written for and inspired by his friends Mark and Theresa Clement of MyFixitUpLife.com (available on iTunes).
In April 2011 Tim Williams and The Delicate Few performed their song "Breeze" on NBC Philadelphia's The 10! Show and were voted into the Final Four (out of 200+ bands) in Radio 104.5's 4th Birthday Show Contest to open for Weezer and Panic! At The Disco at Festival Pier Penn's Landing in Philadelphia.
In May 2011, Tim joined "Mark and Theresa's MyFixItUpLife" at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas and performed to great acclaim for Ty Pennington (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition), Ed Begley Jr. (Actor/Activist), Chris Grundy (DIY Network's "Cool Tools"), Lisa LaPorta (HGTV), and the thousands of Industry professionals in attendance.
On May 20th, he and The Delicate Few performed "Breeze" and a cover of The Verve Pipe's "The Freshmen" on Radio 104.5's LIVE AT 5 In-Studio session.
In June of 2011, Tim performed live at "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in Etters, PA and was selected as a finalist in Wawa Welcome America's Singer/Songwriter contest, which culminated in a live performance on the Riverstage on Penn's Landing in Philadelphia. Judges included ?uestlove of The Roots and Geoff Gordon, President of Live Nation.
Tim was a featured contractor on Food Network's "Restaurant: Impossible" in August 2011 along with "Mark and Theresa's MyFixitUpLife".
On October 13, 2011, the beautiful and talented Katie Rich invited Tim to perform with the mainstage cast of The Second City's production of "South Side of Heaven" in Chicago during the "set" - the improvised 3rd act of the famous show. Tim performed the theme songs to Free Credit Report.com and Full House (Yep)... and his song, "Blue Ribbon", and cites the night as a career highlight and personal milestone.
He joined MyFixitUpLife in Joplin, MO in late October 2011 for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's 200th and final episode - playing music and lending a hand rebuilding the tornado ravaged community.
At his weekly gig at 10! Arts inside the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia, Tim has performed for Mayor Michael Nutter, Top Chef's Jennifer Carroll, Eric Ripert and Anthony Bourdain, among others.
Tim has been heard singing the National Anthem before Men's and Women's Basketball Games at his alma mater St. Joseph's University.
As of 2012, in addition to being their house musician, Tim has officially joined MyFixitUpLife as their producer. Travelling the country with Mark and Theresa - from Las Vegas to Chicago to Orlando - he has had the pleasure of playing to anyone and everyone in the HGTV/DIY Network/Extreme Makeover Universe while simultaneously admittedly knowing NOTHING about home improvement.
Tim is currently back in the Studio with producer Matt Santry recording his sophomore and first full length release, Blue Ribbon, due out in the Summer of 2012.
