Featured Recording Artist
Tim Counts
Tim Counts is by all accounts fearless. He’s tackled addiction, learned stand-up comedy and now has achieved his dream of being a singer/songwriter. His debut EP (available on vinyl and streaming) bounces around the Americana map with some Southern soul, outlaw country, Carolina bluegrass, summery guitar pop and the requisite stripped-down singer/songwriter guitar-and-voice confessional. This song “Wishing Well” metaphorically covers self-motivation and features backing vocals by Marcy Little and Hammond organ by Matt Stache. Produced and engineered by Rob Tavaglione.
