notes

Tim Blane is a Boston based singer/songwriter. His music has the melodic flow of mainstream pop, the harmonic nuance of jazz, and the lyrical honesty of country. Blane's sound brings to mind artists like Jason Mraz, Ryan Adams, Peter Gabriel and Lyle Lovett.

He has performed all over the east coast, opening for national acts like The Verve Pipe, The Push Stars, and Virginia Coalition. He has played at renowned clubs such as House of Blues and Bill's Bar (Boston), The Lion's Den and Elbow Room (NYC), Toad (New Haven), 3rd and Linsley (Nashville), and colleges such as UMass, Harvard, Duke, Bates, and Wellesley.

In April, 2005 Tim released his debut album, "In the Meantime". It is produced by Chris Keup (Jason Mraz, Josh Kelley, Rachel Yamagata) and engineered by Stewart Myers (Shawn Colvin, Jason Mraz, Lifehouse, Agents of Good Roots.)

Before embarking on a solo career, he fronted the Boston band Invisible Downtown for 2 years, recording an album with them and playing at colleges and clubs throughout the east coast.

After graduating from Amherst College with degrees in music and psychology, Blane moved to Boston in 2001 and spent two years at the renowned Berklee College of Music. There he honed his craft as a songwriter and performer, and left Berklee in 2003 to focus fully on becoming a touring musician.

Originally from Maryland, Blane began playing violin at age 4, and piano at age 5. As a child he won the Maryland State Piano Competition, was runner-up in the Maryland State Composing Competition, and placed 3rd in the Maryland State Violin Competition.

    I absolutely love this CD. A friend told me about it and I went to Tim's website to listen to a few songs. That's all it took - I was hooked and I ordered the CD that day. I like EVERY tune on this CD. Tim's style is soothing and very refreshing. He has an awesome voice - I will definitely buy his next release.

  • Every Track is Fantastic!
    author: Ray

    This seems so rare for an album these days, but every single song is phenomenal. Not a stinker in the bunch. It's been in my car now for two weeks, and I'm still loving it. Drifting & Driving is my fave, but they're all terrific. And I love the little touches of humor... even the copyright warning is amusing. If you like what you hear in the samples even a little bit, BUY!! You won't regret it, I promise.

  • Awesome!

    author: Rachel

    This CD is great! There is a good variety of songs, but all of them are wonderful in their own ways. The title track and "That Way" are my personal favorites. If are looking for a great new singer-songwriter, in the vein of Ari Hest or Matt Nathanson, I highly recommend this album!

  • Easy on the Ears
    author: Tim

    I received a 3 song Tim Blane sampler CD after a John Meyer concert at The Avalon in Boston last year. The songs are played in a story-type style that lets the listener know where Tim's going with the music. I'm glad I purchased this CD because it is definitely easy on the ears.

  • An instant favorite!
    author: Jay

    After hearing the sample I was hooked, seeing Tim live made it better and this CD is a new favorite. Ballads to blues the writing and musicianship is superb. I'm lucky to have found the music of Tim Blane and I want everyone to know about it. This is a must have.

  • God damn
    author: Laine Saks

    MMM... love this cd. Basically, it has been playing non-stop in my car for the last week and you are crazy if you don't buy it.

  • Why don't you have this CD already?!?
    author: Judy C

    I discovered Tim Blane by total accident, flipping channels and landing on Unsigned on XM Radio. I immediately checked out his website and got my hands on this CD. Beautiful music, clever lyrics...a great find. If I had to compare the sound to someone, I would say it's a cross between Barenaked Ladies and John Mayer. I expect big things from this artist. Buy this CD!
