Out now on Bandcamp

🎧: For those asking about Spotify, Apple Music, and other services, we do not have a streaming release date set at this time. A band needs to be able to afford Taco Bell on the road before the “stream police” start taking their cut. ThANk YOu fOr your atteNTion to ThIs MaTteR

Good news! The new record doesn’t suck!

Big thanks to everyone that purchased a copy of “Detours” so far & to the radio stations that are playing it. I’m very proud of how it turned out. It was also super cool to get some of my favorite musicians involved as well as my children. highonstressmpls.bandcamp.com/album/detours

Cheers to WUDR 98.1 FM in Dayton, Ohio for spinning “Cold Winds” today. 💜

What a great time on the road with my rock n roll brothers. Big thanks to everyone who came out to see us and for those that picked up the solo record. Feeling tired but pretty darn good today.

Detours is available now! (Downloads and CDs) highonstressmpls.bandcamp.com

Thanks, Tim!

“Detours” is coming this Friday! I’m proud of this batch of songs. There’s some straight up rock stuff, songwriter stuff and some sonic weirdness. I hope you’ll take it for spin or 50. Thanks for the support. It means a lot. Will you be taking a spin? Album art by Henry Leet

Tomorrow on the Figure Eight Podcast! I’ll be previewing my new solo record, “Detours”. Give it a spin. Go Wolves!

Who played? I wrote the song “Slowly Then Faster” in 2020 and Jim Soule slapped the bass on it. He came up from Chicago for a couple of days last summer. We recorded some of his songs in my studio and I played him some stuff. He found himself in front of the mic and added backing vocals. Thx Xim!

Who else played? Steve Fontaine is a musician, engineer, mixer from Palm Desert, CA. He nicely contributed bass, programming, production, and mixing on “Goodbye Gravel Roads”. Steve has worked with the wizard, Andrew Hyra & has done remixes for David Bowie, Aerosmith, Madonna, Kesha & more.

Update! CD manufacturing is underway. They should be in my hands in about two weeks. The album will be released on Bandcamp next Friday along with cd pre orders. Thanks for the support!

Who played on the record Brent has been in my corner since I was 15 years old. He’s one of my best friends and biggest supporters. I’m not sure I’d be making music without this guys support.You might know him from High on Stress music videos. He shot and directed em Brent Braniff - piano and organ

Thanks to Henry Leet for the album artwork and Mary Leet for the backing vocals on “Detours”
