Tim Belgarde is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who is influenced by artists like Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, John Fogerty, Prince, Aldo Nova, Todd Rundgren, Jeff Lynne (ELO) and others that can sing, perform all of the instruments in a rock band, write, produce and record their own music.
His musical style has its roots in the classic rock of the 70s and 80s, with traces of Power Pop, Hard Rock, and Newave styles with Beatlesque harmony vocals and prominent keyboards. He strives to achieve an accessible presentation that recalls heavily-produced bands such as The Who, Pink Floyd, The Cars, Electric Light Orchestra, Foreigner, Boston and more.
Tim has taken a hiatus on recording for several years, but plans on releasing an album of all-original material entitled "Love Lost, Love Found" in the future.

Bit of a bio (mostly rambling)
