You can't be sad if you are whistling.

About Me

Missouri singer-songwriter and now Nashvillian, Tim Schurrer, recently sent us copies of his "Never Be Alone" album and "I Moved to Nashville and Bought a Crockpot" EP. One listen, and we have been big fans ever since. Listening to Tim's music is like putting your favorite album on your scratchy old turntable. As you sit back and soak in the soothing swells of Tim's intimate vocals, acoustic guitars, piano ballardry, and melodic hooks, you are introduced to a true artist-in-the-making. Tim reminds us of a young John Mayer or Ben Folds. In fact, production of Tim's "Never Be Alone" album took place in a small studio in Lenexa, Kansas, where John Mayer and Ben Folds once played.
Tim's rootsy and organic production is light years away from the slick corporate pop on the airwaves today. He is the "real deal" and are so happy to have him as part of the Music City Unsigned community. John Mayer once said in his blog about Dave Barnes a few years ago "He's one of those rare talents that comes so complete out of the box that you can't ask to change a thing..." In our opinion, he could also have been talking about Tim Schurrer.
Tim's motto is "you can't be sad if you are whistling" and we can all use a little bit of his music and that kind of perspective in our lives.

Birthday time! I don't know if anyone else does this, but I always sign up for e-mail lists at restaurants. Sure, you get the occasional "I could care less about this" kind of message, but on your bir...

In high school, I was a pretty serious golfer. When I say serious, I mean that I played 5-6 days a week in the spring, summer, and fall. No joke. I used to have a goal of playing golf in every state i...
