Chicago folks, you guys are in for a treat. Tim Be Told is a sick band consisting of guys that are friends of mutual friends of mine. They’re touring the country this early winter and planning to play at the Elbo Room on Monday night February 15th. Prepare to be blown away by the pipes of Tim Ouyang the lead singer. You can’t miss this!!!
Combining elements of soul, pop, rock, gospel and blues, Tim Be Told has exploded out of the Charlottesville music scene with their own unique sound. After tracking their debut album “Getting By” in the Summer of 2007, the band has toured extensively from coast to coast to meet the demand of their intensely devoted fans.
Their popularity has earned them opening slots for such bands as OK Go and Parachute and rankings in the very top of the MySpace unsigned charts. The quintet consists of songwriter and frontman Tim Ouyang, guitarist and backing vocalist Luan Nguyen, lead guitarist Andrew Chae, bassist Parker Stanley, and drummer Jim Barredo. The band is currently touring in support of their highly anticipated latest recording, “From The Inside.”
TBT’s energetic live performances, which feature their songwriting prowess, soaring vocals, epic guitars, and addicting grooves, have earned them legions of fans across the nation. However, the band’s ultimate hope is that their music will cause people to view life through a different lens, one of honesty, hope, and redemption.
