About the Artist
Seeing Muddy Waters in concert in his home state of Ohio at age 13 proved to be a life-changing experience that would inspire Tim Gartland 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.”
Gartland’s creative body of work includes five critically acclaimed solo albums of original material. The prestigious Downbeat Magazine wrote, “His Little Walter–inspired harmonica work can send shivers down your spine, and there is as much distinction in his vocals and songwriting too. Gartland suffuses his originals with spry curiosity and world weariness. . . . He never rests, musically striving for reconciliation of happiness and heartache at his own measured pace.”
