Details

Seeing Muddy Waters in concert in his home state of Ohio at age 13 proved to be a life-changing experience that would inspire to learn the blues on the harmonica and begin his musical journey. Gartland soon began playing in bands and learning the craft of writing and playing roots and blues music on acoustic guitar. As Tim gained a more in-depth knowledge of songwriting, he came to understand that if roots/blues music was going to stay relevant in today’s world, the songs had to tackle contemporary subjects. He says: “The blues is essentially a genre in which the singer is having a cathartic experience. If you write about themes that are meaningful to your experience, you will create something new.”
