Elegant live music with no backing tracks.
Pick the ensemble by feel — then request a date.
Cocktail hour and dinner music that transforms your reception from an event into a memory. Tim specializes in the elegant background music that sets the tone for romantic evenings — not the dance band, but the sophisticated ensemble that makes your venue feel like the only place in the world.
Ideal for: cocktail hour, dinner, welcome receptions, rehearsal dinners.
First impressions happen in the first thirty seconds. Live jazz signals to your guests that this event was thought through — that every detail matters. Tim's ensemble provides the sophisticated ambiance that elevates gala dinners, award ceremonies, holiday parties, and client appreciation events.
Regular engagements, grand openings, or special themed nights — live jazz transforms a dining room into a destination. Tim works with venue management to find the right format, volume, and repertoire for the space and clientele.
Milestone anniversaries, birthdays, holiday gatherings — some occasions deserve live music. Tim brings the same professionalism and elegance to intimate gatherings as he does to large-scale events.
Tim performs with world-class DFW musicians — fully live, no backing tracks. Core formats are below; larger custom groups are available when the room calls for it.
“Full-room polish for larger nights — still elegant, never a party bus.” Vibraphone + Piano or Guitar + Bass + Drums. Maximum sophistication for galas, fundraisers, and milestone celebrations. Tim sings with the full group.
“Wedding- and gala-ready warmth — guests talk, the music still lands.” Vibraphone + Piano + Bass. Rich harmony, swinging rhythms, and Tim’s vocals on select tunes — the classic sound for weddings and corporate events.
“Relaxed sophistication — more glow than glitter.” Vibraphone + Guitar + Bass. A warmer, more intimate texture — excellent for restaurants, lounges, and private parties.
“When the room wants more presence — still refined, never oversized for its own sake.” Expand beyond the core formats with additional horns, percussion, or a custom lineup built for the occasion. From quintet polish to sextet breadth — or a tailored ensemble for a distinctive evening.
Every format is fully live. Tell Tim the room, occasion, and feel — he’ll match the ensemble.
No backing tracks, no loops, no pre-recorded anything. Every note is played live, in the room, for your guests.
Tim and his ensemble handle all logistics — setup, breakdown, and coordination with your venue. You focus on your event.
Drawn from the Great American Songbook and jazz standards, with the ability to accommodate requests and special song considerations for your event.
Tim sings. That's rare for a vibraphonist — it means you get a more complete musical experience without booking a separate vocalist.
