Tim Gearan Trio
We welcome the Tim Gearan Trio to our stage on April 3 at 8 pm. Gearan is one of the most respected and hard-working musicians in the greater Boston area and has been entertaining audiences at clubs, bar, and concert halls for many years.
Concert starts at 8:00 pm
Fans of contemporary folk, blues and rock will not want to miss Tim Gearan’s appearance at the Me&Thee. Tim’s warm, raspy baritone, jaw-dropping guitar skills and wry, poignant songwriting have made him a New England hero. A native New Yorker, Tim started his career as a lead blues guitarist, spending ten years touring as a sideman for the great Toni Lynn Washington, as well as collaborating with the Grammy-winning singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi.
Branching out on his own when he settled in Somerville, Tim began crafting an intoxicating blend of Americana, folk and blues with shades of Randy Newman, Tom Waits, JJ Cale, Leon Russell, and Lowell George. He quickly established himself as a force in Boston’s resurgent roots music scene and his Boston area residencies sell out regularly. Tim has released 7 albums to date, with the most recent, entitled I Thought You Were Somebody Else, released in the summer of 2019. His music has also been featured in films and on TV, including several episodes of Justified and NCIS: NOLA.
The Tim Gearan Trio features Dave Westner, native Boston percussionist and keyboard player who also excels as a record producer at Woolly Mammoth Sound in Waltham. On guitar is Russell Chudnofsky who has toured as a sideman or as an opening act for a cavalcade of stars, including Frank Black of the Pixies, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Trisha Yearwood, Throwing Muses, Gillian Welch, Hot Tuna, Steve Earle, and John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
- Tim Gearan is just too talented to remain a local hero. The Boston Globe
- Anyone from out of town who happens to stumble into a Boston bar—be it Atwood’s or Toad – when the Tim Gearan Band is playing, would immediately think this is the greatest city on earth. The Noise
- Gearan’s five albums have shaded sometimes more to one style than another, but they’re all been fascinating musical journeys, and all fit nicely under the vast Americana rubric. Seeing his music compared to everyone from Randy Newman to J.J. Cale, to every aspect of The Band is no surprise. The only surprise is why Gearan isn’t a major national star touring the world.
