Am I Sound? Until I'm Found?

About Me

I am a 27 year old Singer/Songwriter from Buffalo/Niagara Falls area. Been playing guitar since I was 15. I was the lead singer of my first band in 1994 which was a Nirvana cover band my friends and I started the day Kurt Cobain was found dead. We started writing our own songs shortly before we broke up and my friend Patrick and I formed 666 Falling Angels (at that age we had no idea what 666 meant) which we later renamed Cynder. We were never able to find a drummer or bassist and Pat's family moved away so I continued to write songs on my own. My parents and I went to China for a year in August 1995 where I got my first acoustic guitar which I ended up leaving there with a friend. Since then I've written acoustic songs which eventually became my main focus. I've continued to write and perform songs for my solo act ever since. In September 2003 I joined up with Tom Kula and Dave Bialas at Niagara University to form October Rising. Lonnie Reaves and Dan Leven joined the band shortly after. I've kept this act seperate from my solo act which I still work on and perform. Check out my soundclick.com site (there's a link to the left). My plan (hopefully) is to move somewhere warmer soon...till then, I am trying to make a name for myself here.I know the current recordings suck, I'm no pro at home recording yet, but my newer recordings sound a little better so I must be learning as I go.And BTW.....I'm on myspaceIM, screen name is Tim Sylvester, hit me up. ;-)Album cover art for "Letters to Her" and "Fall" by Sarah Hannis.Check out All WNY Radio to listen to All Western NY Music 24/7 Check out my myspace groups:..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor V2.5
