Tim Gearan

A beloved fixture in the Boston music scene for more than 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, creating a loyal cult-like following. Gearan, a New York native, actually started his career as a lead blues guitarist, for ten years touring as a sideman for the great Toni Lynn Washington as well as collaborating with the Grammy-winning singer/guitarist Susan Tedeschi. Finding his own artistic voice, Gearan settled in Somerville and has been writing and performing on his own, crafting an intoxicating blend of Americana, folk and blues with shades of Randy Newman, Leon Russell, JJ Cale, Tom Waits and Lowell George. He quickly established himself as a force in Boston’s resurgent roots music scene, and his residencies have become a can’t miss staples of the city’s nightlife. Gearan has released 7 albums to date, with the most recent entitled "I Thought You Were Somebody Else" released this summer.
