Emmy Nominated Tim Grimm plays LilFest Jan 26 – You’re Invited!

The Uptown Theatre, First Street Community Center The Uptown Theatre, 221 First Street NE, Mount Vernon, IA, United States

Tim’s songs are full of the rural rumblings that have shaped his life—rich with descriptive details, and sung with warmth and intimacy—recognizing the inextinguishable national romance with the idea of the family farm and the vanishing landscape of rural America. He released the album, Heart Land in 2000, and on the strength of that recording, was named 2000’s “Best Discovery in Roots/Americana Music” by The Chicago Sun-Times. His albums Coyotes Dream and Names, led to his being named “2004 Male Artist of The Year” by the Freeform American Roots DJs.

He has released 10 solo albums since 2000 (including the newest- The Turning Point), and 2 collaborations- Amber Waves (with Jason Wilber) and Wilderness Plots.
