BIOGRAPHY
"You're way better than the usual white guy with an acoustic guitar!" is a compliment Tim Blane hears often. Armed with pop hooks, a soulful voice, and a songwriting style seeped in jazz, rock, and blues, Blane has a sound both refreshing and memorable.
His new album, "Clockwork" is an expansion of his catchy and honest songwriting. Produced by Chris Keup and Stewart Myers (Jason Mraz, Lifehouse, Mandy Moore) the album immediately charted at #4 at Awarestore.com. Metronome Magazine said Clockwork is "filled with lush instrumentation, beautifully clever prose, and songs that make the heart remember…a masterful body of work."

The past year has been an exciting one for Tim and his band (Adam Olenn- bass, James Williams- drums.) They played dates on the Crocs college tour with oneRepublic and Fabolous, and joined Guster, KT Tunstall and others at WBOS's Earthfest. They also shared the stage with other national acts like Sister Hazel, Ari Hest and Tristan Prettyman.

They were also nominated for a Boston Music Award and they received airplay on Boston stations like WBOS and WXRV. They made it to the finals of the Starbucks/NEMO Songwriting Competition for the second year in a row, and were a featured showcase at the NACA National Conference. In addition, they were selected to perform at the NEMO and Verge conferences in Boston, and Tim was hired by super-producer Scott Storch to write ringtones for Pepsi.

Blane's debut was 2005's "In the Meantime." The album charted at #2 at the Aware Store, and has since sold more than 3000 copies independently. Insite Magazine said of the CD, "A close inspection of Blane's "In the Meantime" disc unearths a deeply talented musician and honest lyricist." Northeast Performer Magazine wrote, "In The Meantime is a strong release that is chock full of tunes bound to stay in your head long after the music ends."

Since studying at the famous Berklee College of Music, Tim has been entertaining audiences with his accessible stage presence and dry wit…From the Middlesex Anvil: "His mellow voice and songs were just altogether...melting…We LOVED Tim Blane!" screamed two sophomore girls, jumping up and down.

As one critic put it "…this is the kind of music that makes you want to roll down the windows, take down the top, and turn up the CD player!"
