Concert Performers
Timothy Scott Williams Timothy Scott is a singer/songwriter from North Carolina, currently performing solo and with various musicians at small clubs, coffeehouses, and festivals. Timothy writes original songs with his wife Sarah, and plays the acoustic guitar and the ukulele.
Reviewers praise Timothy and Sarah’s “major chorus hooks and lyrics soaked in imagery” and have admired their “unique pairings of genres with contemporary lyrics.” Add what has been described as Timothy’s “dusty Southern tenor vocals” and you understand why one reviewer says that “Without a doubt, Timothy Scott deserves to be heard by the fan base that enjoys eclectic Americana music.”
As songwriters, Timothy and Sarah draw from a variety of music traditions to capture the appropriate emotion for each song. Their music dances at the intersection of pop, folk, and country. While their songs are accessible to the casual listener with sincere messages and hummable hooks, a closer listen reveals deeper meanings and complex melodies.
Fans of the cosmic American music of Gram Parsons, the Bakersfield sounds of Dwight Yoakam, or the catchy melodies of Paul Simon will all find something to like in Timothy & Sarah’s catalog of original songs www.tstunes.com
