He's perceptive, reflective and engaging. His music is personal and intense. It's deep. Deep. ROOTS IN MAY -Spirit Rocks - by David Pearson
Fannin County, Texas -- You're invited to hear this acclaimed Indiana-born singer-songwriter here at Harmony House Concerts on Sunday, January 11, '26, 3-5 pm. Tim's recent album, The Little In-Between, is an evocative evolution from his previous albums and his most personal to date, written in three intense months during the winter of 2021-22. This album traces his travel between the hills of southern Indiana and the Oklahoma prairie and his internal journey from a rich past to an unexpected future using a first-person voice in every song to illuminate a deep inner territory that historically remained more submerged in his work. This fertile creative year also yielded forays into visual art, with Tim using pastels and charcoal to create striking folk-art style triptychs, pieces of which now form the visual art featured on the new album cover and booklet. This album is receiving rave reviews. (More about Tim below.)

More about Tim:
Tim Grimm is a bit of a Renaissance man in the performing arts world, forging a rich and varied career that blends his love of songwriting, travel, and acting in theatre, film, and television. For most of his 25-year career as a storytelling balladeer in the tradition of John Prine, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Dylan, Tim has written primarily about community, history, family, and social issues often framed by his strong sense of place and the many years he spent on the family farm he built in rural Indiana. His songs are filled with rural characters and landscapes, written and sung with vivid warmth and intimacy.
Take time to visit his website (www.timgrimm.com) and you will be amazed by the many talents Tim has. You can also visit him on his public FB page and on his personal YouTube channel to see videos of his works. Tim has released 11 albums. Tim's second-newest album, Gone was the #1 album on folk radio for 2021, and its title song was released as a single in October of 2020 and ended up the #1 most played song on Folk radio for the year. He's collaborated on several musical productions.
In 2001, Tim wrote the music for the stage play Amber Waves at Indiana Repertory Theatre with Jason Wilber of the John Prine band. In 2005, he was asked to compose music and act in a production of The Grapes of Wrath at Indiana Repertory Theatre and Syracuse Stage in New York. In 2007, Tim put together a concept CD with several of the Midwest's finest songwriter's Krista Detor, Carrie Newcomer, Tom Roznowski, and Michael White. That recording, Wilderness Plots (drawn from the short stories of noted author Scott Russell Sanders) explored the settling of the American Wilderness in the Ohio River Valley Region between The Revolutionary War and The Civil War. Two PBS programs have subsequently explored Wilderness Plots the first a documentary on the story and song, and the second a full Wilderness Plots: In Concert (2012). Produced by WTIU in Bloomington, IN, both productions were nominated for Emmy Awards. Tim continued to write songs based on Sander's writings and released the album Wilderness Songs and Bad Man Ballads in 2011.
