Tracks from Tim Myers' soon to debut record have been heard on ABC’s Grey's Anatomy and Lifetime’s top rated show, Army Wives. Myers' music can also be heard in films such as Sony Pictures, The Water Horse: Legend Of The Deep starring Emily Watson. He has also contributed music to artsy Indie films such as For Christ Sake, Border Lost, and A Downward Spiral. With his obsession with songwriting and experimenting in the studio, Myers continues to write at least three songs a week.
"A lot of people can't imagine writing a song, but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I have to… The times in my life that I’m most happy is when I'm creating original sounds and recording in the studio."
With style worthy of the highest of English Indie kings, 21 year old Southern Californian native Tim Myers sites John Lennon to The Flaming Lips as influences and doesn't disappoint with his recently released six song EP, Revolution. Produced by Mikal Blue, Myers has taken his love of History with his passion for music combined with his beliefs and transformed this into a collection of songs that just had to be written. Channeling the ghosts of music’s past with The Verve and Jeff Buckley, Revolution brings you a few steps forward into a movement of change.
Music has been a presence in Myers life since an early age, being compelled by piano at five and mastering classical piano by thirteen. Guitar and bass were introduced to him by age fourteen, which lead him to join the band OneRepublic at age eighteen. Myers continues to record and collaborate with several other noted artists in Los Angeles.
Myers can be found playing regularly at Hollywood’s Viper Room, Hotel Cafe, and many other venues across the west coast. With his refreshingly original and inspirational songwriting, Myers will surprise his audience with a new experience every time and is bound to be around for a very long time to come.
"If being egotistical means you believe in your music… then you can call me that.â€
LA NIGHTLIFE REVIEW
By Pauline Bithell
At the risk of receiving accusations of being biased,
I have to say that the English Stone
Roses/Oasis/Libertines inspired Indie rock is
something the Brits have got down to damn near
perfection! Any other country that has a band with a
lead singer who copies the accent and grows their hair
to shaggy proportions...ummm, not so much.
But then, Tim Myers came along.
Myers got on stage wearing his brass buttoned red admiral jacket, skinny black jeans, and his long hair poking out under his beat up hat. You could tell he
was at least a fashion fan of Mr. Doherty.
Surprisingly the similarities didn't stop there. No,
there was no drug addled supermodel waiting in the
wings for him, but he did sound
remarkable....well...original anyway.
'Shot to the Head' saw Myers comfortably grab his
guitar and ease into this eclectic mix of seventies
funk, Beatles harmonies and psychedelic lyrics. It's
odd to see a band have such obvious influences, but
not feel like they're in some way ripping off the
classics. The backup vocalist, a girl in a black dress
and cowboy boots, wasn't just a pretty face added
to the mix, as many usually are. She and Myers'
harmonizing worked so well that the thought of her
being a band member's girlfriend just looking to get
on stage was the furthest thing from my mind.
Myers got onto his keyboard and performed 'Momma's Boy',
a song thickly layered with edgy vocals that could be
perceived as being on the verge of too pop for his
rough image. But, the clever addition of some vocals
aided by a loud speaker veered him away from a
mainstream classification, (despite its appearance on
'Grey's Anatomy' this past season).
Myers' Jagger-esque prancing and his very Carl Barat
wardrobe choices were in no way offensive or over
done, opening himself up to the apparent quality of
his inspiring and original song writing. He commanded
the respect of the audience, which he duly deserved.
Myers was neither smarmy nor arrogant on stage,
grinning like the proverbial Cheshire Cat, and quietly
emphasizing his Californian accent to prove he wasn't
copying, but borrowing. Tim Myers was exciting, even
stripping on stage (actually, his popper buttoned
shirt kept coming undone-but that was fine by me). He
has the LA smile and the great teeth, but luckily for
us he also possesses the English bite.
