About

Timothy grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina within earshot of the Shuffletown Dragway, but the sounds that captivated him were the classic country songs playing on the radio while his uncles worked on their cars. He taught himself guitar as a teen and began writing his own songs while he was a college student in Chapel Hill. Returning to Charlotte, Tim continued to write, record, and perform his original music taking inspiration from the everyday lives, loves, and losses he saw on the streets while working as a mailman.  

Meanwhile Sarah worked as an attorney in Chicago, where she was drawn to the vibrant music scene but did not become a songwriter herself until she moved to Charlotte and met Timothy. The couple not only found love, but a shared musical sensibility that evolved into a songwriting partnership with Timothy focusing on melodies and performance and Sarah primarily responsible for lyrics.  

Their original award-winning songs have been warmly received by critics and live audiences alike, and appear on multiple CDs. Now living in Saint Simons Island, Georgia, Tim and Sarah continue to write while Timothy performs music at local venues and regional events.
