-DowntownBoulder.com"He was FANTASTIC. His music is original and brilliant and he has a natural presence on stage that draws the audience's attention to him." -Alec, fan, Provo, UT
“Mister Tim brings a fresh approach to the single-man-band world with his new record The Funky Introvert. Overdubbing, looping, beatboxing, and was that a bit of comedy? His music is not hard to remember because there simply isn’t anything else like it in Denver. He backs up his own lead vocals. He solos over his own rhythms. The songs almost have the feel of some crazy, off the wall type of spoken word, begging to be paid closer attention, hinting that you may have missed some hidden meaning or symbolism. Definitely worth checking out.”
-Colorado Music Buzz Magazine“Today’s response has been overwhelming… people love you!”
-Lisa, Logan Garden Market, Logan, UT

Review of Mister Tim performance June 16, 2010, from Marisa Debowsky and Amy Malkoff of The Contemporary A Cappella Society
(original review here: http://www.casa.org/node/7809)
Marisa: Very theatrical, in an understated way; SUPER smooth transitions
Amy: Yeah, it’s very clear almost immediately that he is not improv-ing here, at least not for the most part. These are compositions, charted and tight, that he performs this way (or close to it) each time.
Marisa: He shows incredible range: he does a pop song (“Billy Jean”), dirty bass (“I’ve seen zombies in the street…”), buzzed bass and more macabre lyrics (with Indian-sounding B section?), bouncy-but-creepy disco with whisper (“cupcakes can kill you if they’re made of death / fear the cupcakes, the cupcakes are coming…”), story-song (“make my cornflakes taste like sadness…”), and back to pop mashup (“Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This”)
Amy: I wrote the word “macabre” too. I suspect Tim will take that as the compliment it’s meant to be! I think Tim is one of the best lyricists in the a cappella world today. He’s definitely taking chances. I can’t wait to see how he progresses as a solo act.
Marisa: Overall, uber-impressive as an act – polished, and dark, and fun
