About Me


Chicago singer songwriter Tim Lowly has been involved in writing and performing music since the late ‘70s. However, while Lowly has played concerts on a number of occasions over the last ten years he has become much more active as a musician since early 2006. Performing both as solo artist and backed by remarkable group of musicians Lowly has played numerous concerts at various venues in Chicago, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and California. Among the bands he has played shows with are Anathallo, Sleeping at Last and Ben & Bruno . Concurrent with this increased performance schedule Lowly has released a new CD titled “Chasing Brother Angel”.

ted says tim sounds like roxy music's brian ferry

anders says tim's music sounds almost a bit gregorian or medival
