Good Coffeehouse @OSH: Tim Grimm and the Family Band

February 12, 2017 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

- $10

On Sunday, February 12th, the Good Coffeehouse is proud to present an afternoon of music with Tim Grimm and the Family Band. Grimm walks the fine line between folk and country, while maintaining a strong footing in tradition. Tim’s songs are full of the rural rumblings that have shaped his life—rich with descriptive details, and sung with warmth and intimacy—recognizing the inextinguishable national romance with the idea of the family farm and the vanishing landscape of rural America.

About Tim Grimm:

Tim Grimm has toured and recorded with his friend, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, appeared with Harrison Ford in the film Clear and Present Danger, and has shared the stage with writer and poet Wendell Berry. His recording, The Back Fields was named Best Americana Album in the 2006 Just Plain Folks Music Awards in Los Angeles (the largest and most diverse music awards in the world). Named 2000’s “BEST DISCOVERY in Roots/Americana Music” by The Chicago Sun-Times,  and “2004 MALE ARTIST of The Year” by the Freeform American Roots DJs, his songs and performances have established him as a unique voice in Americana music.

Critics searching for comparisons most often cite Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie and (Nebraska era) Bruce Springsteen.  Tim is an award-winning songwriter, and actor on stage and screen .  After several years working in Los Angeles (where he co-starred for 2 seasons on the NBC drama Reasonable Doubts and appeared in several films), Tim returned home to Indiana.  He grew up in the woods and small town settings of southern Indiana, son of schoolteachers and grandson of farmers, and his return home was a conscious choice to live a life of significance rather than one of “success’. He now lives with his wife and sons on an 80 acre farm close to where he grew up. His recordings include Heart Land (2000), Amber Waves (with Jason Wilber 2001), Coyote’s Dream (2003),  NAMES (2004), The Back Fields (2005), Holding Up The World (2008) and in January, 2010- Farm Songs. Tim has performed in theatres and coffeehouses around the United States, as well as significant Festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, Wildflower Festival, Fox Valley, the Pawtucket Arts Festival, the Indiana Festival at Conner Prairie and he hosts the Americana Music Series in Indiana. He continues to work in film, most recently The Express, with Dennis Quaid.
