A beloved fixture in the Boston music scene for over 25 years, Tim Gearan has become a bonafide local music hero. His warm, raspy baritone, jaw-dropping guitar skills and wry, poignant songwriting have graced the bars, pubs, and music halls throughout New England and beyond, creating a loyal cult-like following. Gearan, a New York native, spent ten years touring the globe as a sideman for the great Toni Lynn Washington, as well as collaborating with Grammy-winning singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi. Finding his own artistic voice, Gearan has crafted an intoxicating blend of Americana, folk and blues with shades of Randy Newman, Tom Waits, JJ Cale, Leon Russell and Lowell George. He quickly established himself as a force in the Boston’s resurgent roots music scene, and his Boston area residencies have become a “can’t miss” staple of the city’s nightlife. Gearan has released 7 albums to date, as well as 4 single releases; “While the World Goes By” (2019) “It’s Not the End of the World" (2019) “Hey, Hey, Hey” (2020) and “Talk About Heaven” (2020).
Tim is excited to announce his 8th full album releasing this June 30th entitled "Hammer And A Bell." All of Tim’s music is available on Bandcamp, CD Baby, Apple Music, Amazon or where ever you buy music.
