Tim Thornton Music

Rooted in Old Time, Always a Good Time

Tim Thornton plays on his own, but he’s also a member of old timey duo Sula’s Front Porch; the cosmic Appalachian string band Eight Point Star; Reed Tradition, an old time band dedicated to preserving and promoting the music of legendary fiddler Henry Reed; old time dance band Mammoth Donkey and local bluegrass trio Fort Vause. A frequent fill-in with the Indian Run Stringband, he’s also performed with the Black Twig Pickers and a guitar-and-bass trio that keeps changing its name and describes its music as “twenty-minute versions of traditional fiddle tunes – rarely the melody.” Whatever the configuration, it’s good music and good times.
