About Me

Tiny Legs Tim (Tim De Graeve) (°1978) grew up with the tranquility and the silent adventure of the West-Flemish Heuvelland. In his childhood, he started listening to Bob Dylan and the old blues masters. He took up classic guitar lessons, and it didn't take him long to start experimenting with the emotion-laden music of his favourites, developing his own style as he practised. His musical career was slowly growing and maturing but has been interrupted far too often over the last five years by a radical illness. The misery of the hospitals, the thin line between life and death, the impact of the illness are now for ever present in his lyrics. His music also, is now unmistakenly coloured by these experiences. As the old blues, it thrives on a comforting cynism en shows great combativity and spirit...>Klik hier om het video filmpje te bekijken..>
