About Me
Tim Whiteford and Kristen Bosco reside together in Carbondale, Illinois, with their 4 month old son, Harlan Timothy. Both musicians since they could walk, they were bound to meet, fall in love, and make sweet country music together (literally and figuratively). Tim brings an abundance of musical talent and experience from playing with The Rum Runners, County Line, The Soothsayers Jug Band, Barnacle Billy & the Zebra Mussels, among many more accomplished bands. Kristen brings a much needed fresh sound to the music scene, with original music and harmonies that can't be surpassed. She has put most of her energy into her band, Lily & Grayce, with her sisters Courtney and Melinda. What started out as passing time at home together has now become a new sound that merges country, folk, reggae, bluegrass, rock, and even a little ragtime.
Bosco & Whiteford and the New Stampede released their debut, self titled album in April 2008 and recently got back from an east coast tour to promote the release. Bosco & Whiteford have been featured on CMT's "Can You Duet", where they made it to the top 12 duets out of thousands who auditioned. Go to Canyouduet.com to watch their performances and the full episodes.Carbondale's respected local entertainment paper, the Nightlife, has again honored the members of Bosco & Whiteford in the "Best of 2008" issue, naming Bosco & Whiteford runner up for the best local band of 2008. Saying:
"Bosco & Whiteford's incredible run on 'Can You Duet' and subsequent tour, to say nothing of a fine eponymous CD, would make them the band of the year in just about any other year..."
Thanks Nightlife, we love you too!BOSCO & WHITEFORD are currently taking a break to spend time with their new little baby boy, Harlan Timothy Whiteford, who was born on Oct. 21, 2008. Kristen & Tim are also engaged to be married in May of this year. In the mean time, the duo are writing new material, working with new band members and booking gigs for the spring and summer.
