SUMMARY:Emmy Nominated Tim Grimm plays LilFest Jan 26 - You're Invited!
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHAREWelcome to another year of LilFest Concerts at the Uptown Theatre. Celebrate the opening of the 2019 Season with Tim Grimm on Saturday\, January 26 at 7:30 PM.  Doors open at 7:15 PM. \nTim’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. \nHe has released 10 solo albums since 2000 (including the newest- The Turning Point)\, and 2 collaborations- Amber Waves (with Jason Wilber) and Wilderness Plots. \nEmmy-nominated Tim Grimm is a bit of a Renaissance man in the performing arts world. He has for the past 15 years\, blended his love for songwriting\, travel\, rural life\, and the storytelling of acting (theatre\, film and television). His most recent recording- A Stranger in this Time (2017)\, is a collaboration with his wife Jan and sons Connor and Jackson — the “Family Band”. In the fall of 2016 this same group recorded the single – Woody’s Landlord — which was the #1 song on Folk Radio for the year. Tim’s previous recording\, The Turning Point\, produced the #1 song on Folk Radio in 2014: King of the Folksingers. It was a particularly gratifying honor\, given that the song is a tribute to Tim’s friend and musical icon\, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. Tim’s history with Ramblin’ Jack goes back 30 years– beginning with a bicycle ride that led to The Newport Folk Festival. Tim contributed liner notes to Jack’s Grammy winning album\, The South Coast (1995). Jack recorded Buffalo Skinners with Tim on Tim’s album\, Coyote’s Dream (2003)\, and\, most recently\, King of the Folksingers. \n” The Turning Point is one of this year’s best (cds). Tim Grimm has a taste for melody and keen insight that few of his colleagues can boast. Along with greats like Greg Brown and John Gorka\, Tim Grimm is in my opinion among the best singer-songwriters in the United States.” \n–THE LONG JOURNEY- Roots and Country Music- ITALY \nAfter college (Earlham)\, Grimm pursed an MFA in Theatre at The University of Michigan and from there worked in Regional Theatre\, settling in Chicago. In Chicago\, in addition to his theatre work\, he studied briefly at the Old Town School of Folk Music and began writing songs and performing. He put together a band\, Tim Grimm and The True Hearts and released 2 cds–True Heart\, Kind Mind and Broken Down Palace. At which point\, “Hollywood called”\, and Tim put down his guitar and pen\, and didn’t really pick them up for close to 10 years. \nAfter several years (1990s) working in Los Angeles (where he co-starred for 2 seasons on the NBC drama Reasonable Doubts\, worked on Clear and Present Danger with Harrison Ford\, and appeared in several films and TV projects)\, Tim returned home to Indiana. He grew up in the woods and small town settings of southern Indiana\, son of schoolteachers and grandson of farmers\, and his return home was a conscious choice to live a life of significance rather than one of “success’. He now lives with his wife on 80 acres close to where he grew up. \nIn 2005\, Grimm 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. His song from the play–The Peoples Highway\, made it onto his next album\, The Back Fields\, which was subsequently named Americana Album of the Year by the Just Plain Folks Music Awards– the world’s largest independent music awards. \nIn 2007\, Grimm put together a concept cd with several of the Midwest’s finest songwriter’s— Krista Detor\, Carrie Newcomer\, Tom Roznowski\, and Michael White. The recording\, Wilderness Plots\, was drawn from the short stories of noted author\, Scott Russell Sanders\, and 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 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. The original cast of Wilderness Plots will reunite for a select few shows\, and again be filmed by WTIU for PBS. \nTicket Prices\n$5 for students\, General Admission $20\, Sponsor $50.  Tickets can be purchased in person or online at https://timgrimmlilfest.brownpapertickets.com/ \nGeneral Information About the Concert\nA LilFest Concert is an intimate concert in a relaxed setting. Bring your own beverages and snacks into the theatre with purchase of the Uptown Theatre venue’s First St. Community Center drink cup ($5). \nRemember: You can reserve an early dinner before the concert at the Palisades Café\, mention LilFest\, and receive the evening’s LilFest special. \nwww.TimGrimm.com \nPLEASE SHARE
