Tim Grimm

...as i tell my kids, "You can always ask." My request:Please play "My Favorite Spring" in Amherst next Saturday. Thanks in advance! Safe travels! (oh? you take duorequests? Well then, that awesome song about General Custer. "Tell 'em to hold the sass." Doesn't get much more exquisite if you ask me :) Tonic for the ages! (we wouldn't be opposed to a hearing of the guacamole song, either, now that i think of it.) an Orion's Belt of requests! Again, thanks in advance!

Tim, Thanks so much for the Tom Paxton tribute. I have been a fan since high school in the sixties. I wrote some songs back then, but my destiny was elsewhere (I am a retired environmental engineer). As luck would have it, my oldest son turned out to be an accomplished guitarist (and teacher) here in South Carolina. I'm trying to influence his songwriting to capture the wonderful feelings Tom put into his music. You could have picked a hundred songs, but including "All Night Long" was brilliant. A hauntingly beautiful peace that pretty much sums up what we deal with in life. Thanks again and happy holidays to you and yours! Ken K.

Hoosier Holidays in Madison really put me in the Christmas Spirit . Another great lineup of musicians .

Hi Tim- I attended your show several weeks ago at the Trinity House in Livonia, MI and had a great time. I was particularly moved by the song about Anne Frank that you played in Amsterdam. Is there a chance I can get a download of that song? I wanted to share it with relatives at a Thanksgiving gathering(we're of Jewish origin). Thanks.

hey tim..found out you will be playing in middleburgh,ny next week! can't wait to see you perform again. saw you in cobleskill,ny a few times and a house concert in niskayuna,ny a few years ago. we spoke on those occasions. Been a while since you've been in this neck of the woods. Listen to your music often always gives me a boost. Not sure if you remember me as you meet lots of folks, but i had given you the deer antler necklace at the niskayuna house concert. a wonderful show that was indeed. Hope you and family are well. Look forward to seeing you. all the best...Dave

You should put the Coyote's Dream album on your Myspace page. And set a date this year for South Texas. Houston/Katy preferrably! I can guarantee 8 tickets bought from me! Thanks!!

I heard you are coming to the Dahmen Barn in Idaho. I hope to see you. I was born in Richmond, IN and I read that you are from southern IN! I hope you enjoy Idaho....beautiful here right now!

Thank you so much for performing at Uncle Calvin's last week. It was a joy to finally meet you. I'd like to e-mail you some photos from your performance but I don't immediately see a way to do that on your website. Do you have an e-mail or drop box address? Drop box is better; then I can send the images higher resolution, but e-mail works fine too. Thanks! Lisa

Loved your show at Uncle Calvin's. I posted the pictures on my Facebook site. Would love to know what you think. you're welcome to use any of them. ira

Great performer, too bad folk is "dated" I prefer the term "Meaningful Music" but this too will turn around in time. Sorry about my quips Hoosier basketball? and someday you will be a rock star... YOU ARE A STAR!!! in my book. Keep on keeping on...

Tim -- We just got home after seeing you perform at Arhaven House Concerts, and wanted to let you know once again how much we enjoyed your show. You're a songwriter of rare talent with a presence that truly involves your audience and plants your tunes and stories in their hearts. Hope to see you again sometime...thanks so much for sharing your music with us.

Hi Tim, thanks a lot for covering Tom Paxton songs as you did on your new CD. Tom Paxton is one of my singer/songwriter heroes. Listen to his music since the end of the sixties. Also like your songs and lyrics about rural America, though I'm a German. Decades ago the rural life in Germany was respected but the times they are - changin' not always to the better...

I periodically hear a song of yours on XM radio or a local community radio station. Over the weekend I downloaded 4 of your albums and am really enjoying listening to the music while going out for walks at night. Stephanie Paradis Sarasota, FL

Hello Tim, I was exploring my Indiana roots, I didnt know I had ,a few years ago and picked up Heartland. It quickly became an all time favorite. Play in arizona sometime. It would be a real priviledge to see you. Bruce

Just heard you on Folk Alley on my lil lot, in Second Life.. WOW... the song... She Remembers.... thank you Thank you

Hi Tim, You came to Keene Valley last winter and stayed at Marie and my Inn, RoosterComb. We hope to have you back! I just bought CDs, Farm Songs for my 2 daughters. I love it! Play it while I work by myself. I cry easily these days but, in spite, I love sad songs. You sing about the America that I grew up in and I want my daughters have a glimps into that world. I'm an optomist so I think it will happen again. Just Maybe! "She Remembers" makes me cry almost every time I hear it. My wife Kathy died of cancer, but we were younger, 16 years together. If it was good, you move on but, you miss her every day. Every day...I have material for a song. I've moved on but I miss Kathy every day. Sad songs! Thank You for the music. You may not remember me but but I was the guy with the big beard. Santa Like! I love Farm Songs, play it in a mix with the jay hawks and the sound track to hope floats. odd but it works! Also, Sundays in my shop, no one around, over and over while I work, The greatest! Teary eyed! You never know what motivates! Your wife's voice in the background of 80 acres is great. Does she do her own music? Beautiful folk voice! Last, the line prettiest naked girl, I've ever seen, in Pumpkin. Nice! Thanks, Steve Bowers

Hi Tim, Just heard you on Pandora, so I Googled you. By any chance was your father once a teacher in Columbus, IN? (I see you're originally from IN). Just wondering. I had a social studies teacher there named Arthur Grimm - great guy! Blessings!

Hey Tim! I briefly spoke to you at the Wilderness Plots show in Bloomington last weekend. I held up two of you CD

What a pleasure to hear you this week: first in Columbus Saturday, and at Eagle Creek Wednesday (despite your having to play the 'sun field' (baseball expression) and having to fight off the wasps :)

The Wilderness Plots concert on Saturday with the original cast was awesome.I can't wait to see Wilderness Songs in Madison .

Tim, In the small world category,it appears that Jackson is my grandson's counselor at camp. Not too many years ago we were dropping you, Luke and David off for a wonderful summer experience

Hey Tim, I'm a good friend of Mike Lindauer (though I haven't crashed at his place in Chicago yet). Met you a few years back in Arthur and last time you were in Decatur, at the Beach House. Anyway, Mike just told me you will be here Friday night....my fault for not being on your mailing list, but will try to rally the troops and see you perform. All the best, Steve

As always, a wonderful afternoon of music by you and Jan at the Champaign Public Library. Don't know how they got you both there, but sure glad they did!! When I said you were treasures just like John Prine and Guy Clark, I was being sincere!! Thanks for you time and your talents. Hope to see you soon.

Wonderful CD release concert last night .I liked all the new songs .

It was great to meet you at what seems to be a favorite coffee shop for both of us. I hope to hear you at an upcoming show in Columbus.

Howdy from years back. Been following your career. Just found your website. Get back to Columbus about twice a year to see the folks. maybe I'll be able to catch a show. Hope all is well.

Looking for some new songs for The Folk Show on WPSU here in Central PA, pulled Farm Songs out of the library. Gotta tell you, I really like this CD, just everything about it- the songs, the light hand on the production, the arrangements and your voice. Nicely done!

howdy Mr. Grimm, Im very excited to be sharing the stage with you April 22nd in Indianapolis for the Redbud Foundation Fundraiser! Thanks Alot for being part of it!

Rolf and Nynke Mol, 26th march 2011, caf

Tim, Marie and I enjoyed your performance in Keene Valley with Michael Smith. A very pleasant thing. I'm partial to Farm Songs. Sad is good! Also, glad to have you stay at our little Inn, The RoosterComb. You got out just before the big snow. Thanks and we'll see you again some day we hope! Steve and Marie Bowers

I was lucky enough to get to the Sat. nite performance at Wabash. Enjoyed your music immensely. thank you so very much. love to you and the family.

Great evening in Keene Valley with you & Michael Smith. I proposed the library across the street buy the Wilderness Plots book & video, and the director agreed without hesitation. Morning music: Mozart's "Ave Verum" (Hail, true body) and Page's "Creation will be at peace" (in the holy mountain of the Lord, all war and strife will cease)

The house concert in Madison on the 20th of february was awesome .I'm glad you played Celia Rose and the Perfect Get Away and all the other great songs.

Hi Tim, I'm thrilled to see you are going to be at Wabash. Will you be there each nite of the play or just on 23rd.?Much love to you,jan, and the boys.

Tim, Thanks for bringing your music and style to Lafayette for SAMI to enjoy. What a cool unplugged acoustic set!!! I bought two of your CD's and LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Hope to see you around sometime soon!

Hey, man, saw you in Detroit 1-8-7 a couple months back ... and did not recognize you at all! Then just now noticed it on imdb and had to go back and check it out again. How's Luke? Take care - Ian

My mom and I really enjoyed you and Lee Murdock in Kaneville, IL. Great show.

Geez, Tim, you're coming to Lafayette and then to Wabash? We hadn't seen you around here in a long time.

Timm and Jan, that was a wonderful group of talent you arranged for the 12/10/10 Holiday Gathering. Bobbie and Phil were tops, along with the others. Thanks for your community contributions to music and the arts. Zack

i have just dscovered Tim courtesy of SPOTIFY stunning stuff the song She Remembers is just so moving is there a chance of seeing a concert in England 2011

Although it has been about two years since you played for Manchester College, I still listen to your CDs on a constant basis. "Heart Land" keeps me going when all hope seems lost of ever getting our own farm. Thanks for all the encouragement!

It was very intersesting hearing you talk about your acting roles on Saturday at the Yes Cinema.I also liked Slice of Pie . It was funny (poor dog).

I'm glad I got to see Pure Prine in Madison on the 19th.The cast worked well together .I'm also glad I got to see you both at Jan's book signing .

saw u in bloomington with larry crane. Awsome performance!

I had a great time at your show at the wine festival today.I am looking forward to Pure Prine coming to Madison .Thanks for playing Coyote's Dream and Woody's This Land is Your Land .It was a perfect day for music .

Hi Tim,I met you last spring I think it was through Dennis and Joyce from the Ruddick Nugent house. I am a performer as well but I am more well known for my Guitar making.I look forward to seeing you again sometime. Jamon

Thanks for a great outdoors concert last night. Enjoyed it and anxious to hear about Pure Prine in Madison. Please let us know the dates & where. Thanks agin.

Hello Tim, I was happy to hear you Monday at the Fox Valley Festival and we greeted each other briefly afterwards. I'm Bonnie Bell, the pastor at North Prairie United Methodist Church (WI). I heard you first at Cafe Carpe, along with Bill and Mark Dvorak. I was there with Liz Romagna and we decided to ask if you'd come to the church for the Sweet Sweet Music Series. In the church we kind of have a joke/saying It's easier to get forgiveness than permission. This is not (Exactly) why I am writing, but it may come to that. I would like very much to use your song, "Lost & Found" in worship this Sunday. I didn't know on Monday that the texts would be from Luke, the Lost Sheep (right up your alley, as a farmer) and The Lost Coin. I often see love songs as songs of love -to God. In that sense, I would like to use your song as part of the sermon. I'm kind of working with the image of a spiritual GPS as well. This week, we buried a long time close friend and my heart is breaking in grief....it's a little hard to focus on sermonizing. All that being said, I was looking on your website for lyrics, but couldn't find them. I'll listen with pen in hand- there are not too many. I hope that you can forgive (or permit) this use of your work. I will give full credit in any way you wish. [I have 2 of your CDS from the night you played at church, but lyrics are not therein.] Thanks, Tim for your presence last Monday & all the music! Bonnie Bell North Prairie UMC

I just saw you in a movie and it sparked a thouhgt/memory. I gre up in Columbus IN and your mom was one of my teachers. She brought me to Chicago and we stayed at your house and I met your brother. I've lived north of Chicago since 1989 and have lost touch with your mom. Could you pass along my information to her? I'd love to hear from her after all of these years. She was a great influence in my life. Thank you. Chris Edwards

Mr Grimm, Thank you for your music. I've been listening to some of the clips on Youtube. Though I've not been to a concert yet - I plan to take one in in the near future. Definitely my favorite song is Better Days. That may be because I'm the new owner of Oak Bend Farm. :) Feel Free to stop by any time! --Craig

Tim and Jan, thank you again for such a wonderful evening at the "Flying Cat" House Concert! The "songs I wish I'd written" mini set was marvelous. It

Tim, I caught you and Jan's house concert at Flying Cat Sat the 17th. Thanks for the enjoyable evening and introducing me to your music. I would like to attend some performances there in Columbus can you let me know the web site to watch? Again Thanks.

hi tim! my husband and i saw your band play about a year ago in madison! great talent! we purchased one of your cds and love listening to it. my best friend is getting married in 4 weeks and my husband and i would like to do a duet and feel like "lost and found" would be perfect. any chance you'd be willing to share the guitar chords with me for that song? my email is: holthauskatie@hotmail.com thanks a million!

Tim, Jan, Connor (& Krista) Thanks for such a fantastic house concert last night in Ferndale, MI. Loved your sound and lyrics. We listened to our newly acquired Farm Songs CD on the way home, and I fell asleep with memories of sweet timothy fields to keep me company in my dreams. Did a re-listen of the CD during the morning rush, and the trip through the concrete ditches of I-696 didn't seem as bleak as it usually does(and this is a Monday!). Looking forward to the next time our paths cross. -Peter

My 7th show that I saw Friday at McCormick's Creek was great.I hope you make it back to Madison soon . Dakota

Hi Tim I saw you first at woodsongs.com. I love your songs. All the best from Baveria and keep on doing your great work. Rainer

Thanks for the great entertainment for the Elderhostel group in Columbus, IN. Your music reminded me of my homelife and growing up in the small town of Leo, IN. We look forward to listening to your CD's. Thanks again!! Tom

Hi Tim, Your music always makes me feel I"m back home. I love the stories in your songs. all warm wishes, your cousin , Lora

Hi Tim, You probably don't remember me from U of Michigan. You and Tim Hopper were kind enough to come in and sing a song about Oedipus Rex. I knew you were destined for greatness way back when. Best of all to you. I've been a fan of your music for years.

Hi, Tim. It was a pleasure meeting you and listening to your music @ Harmony House in Fannin County a few nights back. I'm really enjoying your CD's! Keep up your great works! I hope to see you again in the future.

listened to you for the first time at Paul Barker's home the other night. Superb. Thanks for coming to Ausitn and hope to see you live again. Love your music.

Heard your music on the radio today in New York,on my way to church,loved it.Amber Waves...Blessings....

I love farm songs...played many cuts on my show - ballads and banjos, in the catskills in NYS. wjffradio.org many thanks...i am a farm too!

Hi Tim, I heard your great interview with Russ Thompson on KBCS radio yesterday. I would love to come hear you on Saturday night at the Phinney Ridge Community Center, but we have a real conflict. Greater Seattle Veterans For Peace is holding a benefit concert with singer/songwriters Jim Page, David Rovics and George Mann. We are starting at 8 pm - a little later than you. If you want to drop by after your concert to say hello, we are not far away - University Lutheran Church, 1604 NE 50th St. in the University District. I hope you have a great turnout too! Keep on keepin' on! If you want, you can call me at 206-499-1220. I am the president of VFP 92.

Hi, friend of Jack.Me too,some bad moments worrying about his health last year. Whew! may get to see you in Portland with the stunning Leela Grace. Hope so

The Hoosier Hank and Johnny at Madison was awesome !!I'm looking forward to Hoosier Beatles .

OMG! The Hoosier Dylan show at the Danville Royal was in credible . Wow! All that talent in one place!

have "found" you on Whole Wheat Radio, and am excited to get to know your music. Perhaps you'll be playing near me sometime and I'll be able to catch a show. Keep on giving your gifts...it's great to be on the receiving side. Thanks, Gerry (Atlanta, GA)

Saw the "Hoosier Dylan" show in Indy in January and it is simply fantastic. Any Tim and Friends fans who haven't seen it should . . . or if you have, see it again, it's THAT good!

Tim, See you in Memphis next week at FAI. I'll be there representing the Ohio River Valley Folk Festival. Thanks again for helping us generate some mid-year enthusiasm for the event. I'll see you Thursday nite 'bout 8:30.

Tim, we loved you and Jan's music at the Randolph county conservation banquet. Thanks for coming!!!!

Last night's Festival of Friends was wonderful. The concert by you and Jan at the end of the evening made it PERFECT! Dodn't know if there is any such thing as a Quaker Revival, but if there is, I think that was it! Take care of that throat, Tim!

I saw you and your wife last night at the Quaker church in Indy.You were,as usual great. I enjoy your music greatly.Hope your throat gets better soon.Blessings,Margo

Tim, My brother died of lung cancer last March. As I drove the 30 miles to the hospital almost every day, I listened to Holding Up The World.... and I thank you for this song. I felt like I was holding up the world.

Hi Tim, heard you on wmnf, so awesome!!

I have been very fortunate to have seen you twice in one week: at De Oude Veiling in Aalsmeer and at In The Woods. Both were great shows and I'm sure I'll listen to the recordings of these shows and the official albums a lot. See you again next year. Sylvia

A rainy sunday afternoon changed in lovely music moments in Aalsmeer. Thanks for the record. I'll use it for sure in the program Goodno(i)se. I wrote also something about the performance in De Oude Veiling at my blog. Look at the site and you can also liste to the program there. Go to goodnoiseradio.blogspot.com

Tim I was at the concert in Bakkeveen, It liked it very much, fine songs, fine words and a great performens many thanks Ate

Alpha & Lori were thrilled to spend time with you at house party in Lindenhurst. We emailed you later afterwards--possible summer trip involving gigging & farming?

We heard you recently at Good Times Pizza (Hinesburg, VT) for the second time--and loved the concert again this year. We bought the Wildeness Plots CD but can't find a copy of the book anywhere, online or stores. Can you tell us how to find the book? Thanks, Sherry Scull & Bob Denham

Dring a TV programm in Holland they used fantastic background music. I checked and found out that it was the song Lost and Found from Tim Grimm. I ordered the cd and must say it is really a brilliant piece of music. Thanks very much Tim.

Tim, It was nice to have you back in Vermont. The show was "Excellent".. Thanks for coming back to GTC and I look forward seeing you in the future.. Cheers..

Saw you on Sept. 20th before Garnet Rogers (whom I adore). Would've been very happy just listening to you and your lovely wife all night as well. I am now a new and fervent fan. Thank you, Tim, for completing a wonderful evening of music.

Hi Tim [& Jan!]- was so excited to be walking by Space, here in Evanston, over the weekend and notice the line-up for September. There was your name - how great! Hoping to see you [both?] on the 20th. Cheers -

Hi Tim, I'm a volunteer for an organization called Take Note. In a nut shell, Take Note is a group of volunteer musicians, djs, comedians, club owners, and bar staff that are pushing for smoke-free work places. Too many of us in the entertainment industry put our health at serious risk by simply going to work. We'd love to have you join our fight. e-mail me back and check us out at on myspace under smokefree takenote. We're big fans of your work and look forward to hearing from you.

It was a pleasure seeing you in Warsaw, in July. Thanks for stopping in at the winery before your show, it was great to talk to you and your lovely wife. We can't wait to see you again. You guys are great.

Hey Tim, how have things been going. I have been following your career and I am very proud of a fellow Earlhamite.

We just saw your performance at the UUCC in Danville, IN. You are wonderfully amazing. Several times through the performance Joe had commented on your guitar playing, he's very envious of your talent. Thank you for coming...Cannot wait to see you again.

Hey Tim, saw another post from an Earlhamite saying not sure if you remember me; not sure if you remember me either but the last time I saw you was in Ann Arbor at Pretzel Bell probly in early 80s. So thrilled to see you're coming to my new hometown of Evanston IL w/Garnet (he and Stan among my all time faves). I really hope we'll be able to come!

I wanted to thank you and Jan for all of your hard work in bringing great musicians from around the WORLD to Columbus, Indiana. Columbus is blessed to have people who promote the arts. It was great meeting you at the show last Wednesday. Looking forward to the next one!

From Chicago,we where with Elderhostel group June 2009 in Columbus Indiana enjoyed you and your Wife

I saw you at Connor Prairie a couple of years back and became a big fan. Now I am delighted to see that you are going to be in Warsaw IN on July 31. I am going to be counting the days. Also, I would be delighted to have you drop in to my little winery tasting room while you are in Warsaw. I am located just a couple of blocks from the Park where you will be performing. The address is 119 E Center St, and it's called Ferrin's Fruit Winery. Gratefully Paul F Senger

My son accidentally came across one of your performances on Youtube! It was wonderful!

Hey! It was such a pleasure listening to you two this evening at the Royal Theater. This was our third time seeing & listening to you at the Royal. Talked briefly with you about our Sunday, February 14, 2010 wedding reception. I mentioned to Chuck of the Royal Theater that maybe you could preform on Saturday, February 13 at the Royal. I also would love to take you & your wifes portaits. Sincerely, Melissa Morgan PhotoBee Photography

Can't wait for Sunday. You and Jason put on such memorable shows at the Berg. Thanks for coming back!!

Tim, I just bought all of Krista Detour's CD's at a concert here in Atascadero, California last night (she was FANTASTIC), and you are on the Wilderness Plots CD. Loved your songs! I will be looking to buy your CD's and hopefully hear you play some time! Jigger in California

I am sitting here listening to Coyote's Dream that I just bought from Amazon. We are fortunate here in St. Louis to have radio station KDHX that plays your music and got me into your music. Come to St. Louis sometime. The Focal Point would be a perfect place. I have seen Eric Taylor, Chris Smither and others there. Great place. Absolutely love the music.

Hi Tim! You are giving a terrific performance in "Class Dismissed" and I am enjoying every minute of your work. I'd love to hear more of your music, too. See you at the Victory Gardens! Terry Gibson (understudy)

Even if you will not admit it, you are a poet.

Tim, It was more than a pleasure to have you "In The Woods" here in the Netherlands and saw / recorded the gigs in Haarlem and Amsterdam last sunday. Good luck in Germany and when I've spare time I try to catch another Dutch / Belgium show. Hope to see soon again in Lage Vuursche with your son on bass... and yess we'll say hi to Otis Gibbs !

Hi Tim! I now live in Danville Indiana and have been seeing your name at the Royal Theater for a few years. I was always wondering if that were you, and it does appear so. I went to school with you - was your next door neighbor in the dorm. I will definitely be getting to know your music. Best wishes. Pam Scheele Froelich (Earlham '83)

Tim, It's been a week and a half since your performance at the Comfy Couch venue in Wixom on a snowy Saturday night. I'm certain you know how a live performance can become the soundtrack in your head for extended time periods....it's not like I can control the muse doing a "repeat" of "The Girl" over and over on the soundsystem in my mind. I wondered how you'd pull that song off live, and you outdid yourself (with Jan taking over for Jenny Davoe). I had a chance to talk with you between sets and we had a brief discussion about live music...how the true measure of a musician is revealed when he stands up there alone with his guitar (no band). Of course, you had Jan accompany you this time, with beautiful harmonies...but it was a true acoustic performance. Your musical chemistry was impressive...in synchrony. Don't mean to gush, but your performance was incredible. I just wanted to take a moment to say, you have "the gift." It was a pleasure to see you crawl inside the music...your performance personality fits you just right...comfortably tight, like a second set of skin. You've got it all...a chain of phrases telling stories of real people struggling to make sense of it all, just like the rest of us...a catchy melody, and that melody somehow matches the feel of the meaning of the song-that's the magical part ...And your voice-it's always the voice that hooks the listener. Your delivery comes straight from the gut...always a measured volume...a style naturally crafted... sometimes whispery, seemingly artfully understated...there must be an artery going straight to your soul. Your albums translate well, having a live feel. I hope you consider doing a live album. I've seen John Prine, Waits, Patty Griffin, Greg Brown, Steve Earle, Garnet Rogers, Eric Bibb, Jeffrey Foucault, Mary Gauthier and a multitude of others perfom live many times, and IMHO your concert stands up alongside any of them. Thanks for being a live performer. You have to have a love for the music to travel in these circles, and drive hundreds of miles to play before less than a hundred. I look forward to your return to Birmingham at the end of February...think I'm going to have to also take a road trip to Bloomington to see you at the Farmer's Market...then maybe catch you someplace in the evening on the same weekend. Thanks again for sharing your talents... Jack Johnson

Hi from Germany. I saw you in Madison,WI in late july 2008, immediately bought two of your albums. "Better days", "Pumpkin the Cat", "That old man", "Too hard drivin" were songs that accompanied my travels through the US. Your music somehow met what your country has ment to me in my imagination for years without having seen it. Now back home listening to your songs brings back feelings from last summer. Good feelings :-)!. By the way, when you're in Brussels, just hop over the border and delight some German american folk fans :-). All the best to you... A

keep the farm going from one farmer to another. need that hay! Songs are great pleasing and enjoyable to this old mans ears.

Tim, lOVED The Dylan show at the crump! Hope there's another one in '09. If people only knew what they missed, one of the best concerts I've seen, and only $15.00. Would love to see that same group cover Neil Young......any chance??

I'm enjoying discovering your musical artistry and generosity. Witnessing "Wilderness Plots" was a real treat: I attended because of Carrie and delighted in my introduction to so many talented performers. Next day the Columbus Folk Festival with Carrie and Tom Paxton was very enjoyable. And now, Hoosier Dylan is the strongest concert I've attended in quite a while. I look forward to meeting you at a future musical event.

Tim, Quick note to say how much we enjoyed the Hoosier Dylan show in Columbus. Goes down as one of the best concerts we have seen. Lyle Canterbury Edinburgh, IN

Tim, Thanks so much for the fantastic show Sunday evening in Arthur. Thanks to you, Jan, Jason, Mike and Dave. It was just incredible as always. I've posted some pictures from the show on our MySpace page (ME-N-HIM). Again, thanks for another memorable evening. Dan Basham, Bellflower, IL

Tim, I loved the Hoosier Dylan show at Danville's Royal Theater. Did you record it? Kirk

Hi Tim ... I'm looking forward to your January concert in Wixom, MI. Thanks for the new album (Holding Up ...) Would you have lyrics for "Heart So Full" that you could e-mail me? (Great song) Thanks for your music, Jim

Hey Tim, Thanks for playing tonite in CT. Just wanted to let you know that after tonite's show as I was driving back home to Brookfield (CT) in a car with out a CD player, bummed I could not listen to your CD I just picked up, that the radio station I listen to all the time, WSHU, had a program going on "Profiles in Folk" hosted by Steve Winters, and played 2 of your songs! That was sooo funny, he mentioned you had a show in CT tonite and might be traveling at this time, and I thought Steve you're right on! I'll let my family and friends in the Netherlands know next week about your tour in NL (and to buy your CD!) save travels and peace Bep (from Utrecht and/or CT)

Tim it was GREAT to have you back in town.. Don't know how you found Hinesburg Vt. but glad you did! The show the other night was a real Treat... Aurora Means Dawn with Krista was Outstanding.. Enjoyed the evening.. Thanks!.. Hope to see you back soon.. Love the new CD...

really digging the new CD. looking forward to next saturday's music-fest....and the danville Dylan thing sounds awesome. later, john

Your program at the Spencer market last Saturday morning made my day. I should start every day with such excellent music. I picked up one of your CDs (The Back Fields) and am listining to it right now. The financial world may be coming apart, but I am happy listening to some of the best music I have heard in a while. Thank you so much.

My 93-year old aunt passed away today. She leaves behind her loving husband of 71 years. You wouldn't have know she was 93 - up until last week she was still spry, feisty, and the best euchre player I knew. The CD that I pulled out to play this evening was your HeartLand CD. I think "Better Days" says it best, "So I will watch and I will listen To voices cracked and faces worn with age And when they're gone, Lord knows I'll miss them They give me hope for better days"

Hi Tim: You may not remember me but I was in the class of '83 at Earlham. I may be able to make it Fox Run this October. I live right near it (in Stow, MA). I am heading to my 25th reunion at EC on Oct. 17th! Anyway, congrats on all your great work! -Dan

love your work

Tim, I love all your records thank you for your excellent work.

Heard your song of Rebecca Ver Salles (sic) on KBCS 91.3 fm. Nice job. We have a fund raiser every year and would like to have your CD on our list of premiums for donors. How would that be done? Also are you coming to Seattle any time? Tom literacyseattle.org

Any chance you'll ever make it to The Ark in Ann Arbor, MI? Would love to see your work!

Greetings from Alaska, Tim, I once had a homemade tape ( left at my house by a tenant) that had Broken Down Palace on one side and a collection on the other side that I can't find among your cds... One song about your grandmother, one about your grandfather another about "the years these last months have put me through, lost my job, wrecked my car, someone even ripped off my guitar..." Is this collection on a cd somewhere? My cassette has self destructed and I miss that music!

Hi Tim, I

Hallo Timm, today I got your CD from Bert Rueter. As your promoter for Germany I promise my best work for this great album and be shure we will have a lot of good reactions at Radio and Print. Best wishes Michael

Thanks for the CD. LOST & FOUND breaks my heart. j mt

Hey Tim: Too long--glad to see you're well and from what I read here that Jan is, too. Great...would love to say hi in longer form. Please, my best to Jan. Don

Tim, I thought it was about time for me hear your music, I have serve you at the credit union, and never heard you sing. sounds wonderful I like very much. Tell Jan hello,

Tim, It was great meeting you & playing the Evening Star together. Wonderful songs and stories. Hope Don and I didn't keep you up too late! I look forward to seeing you again. Michael Reno

You write beautiful stuff

hey tim this is emily grimm your 2 cousin i just wanted to say hi!

Thanks again for the terrific show in Danville on Saturday! We loved every minute. Hope you've gotten some rest after FA and the show. See you down the road again soon. Best wishes!

Great show last night at the Royal Theatre in Danville. Thanks for taking the time to talk with my six year old grandson after the show.

Welcome back to Richmond, I had no idea that you were recording now. I caught most of your acting that you did on TV series. What a multi-talented guy you are! Knew you had something when you were a student here at Earlham College. I took care of your banking in the basement of Runyan and since then I've worked for EC 25yrs now. Glad to here you've come back to your Indiana roots.

Hey Hay-farmer. It's been a long time since you and I sat in Mr. Perry's chorus class and pretended we knew how to sing. Looks like you may have proven yourself by now. Though you might like to know, one of the one-man plays you performed in about a new pastor in AZ was used this Sunday at our meeting in Nashville pertaining to the Sermon on the Mount and "Blessed are those who mourn." It hit home, providing foundation for redemption for some people. Take care, glad you're back in the 'hood. I'd love to sit down and read "The Sneetches" together again sometime. Glad you've prospered.

For what it's worth... My 3 favorite albums (in no particular order): 1) Stripped - Rolling Stones 2) Absolutely- Sister Hazel 3) Heartland- Tim Grimm Dude, you ever be driving down the road, listening to the crap played on radio and scream out the window "Life ain't fair". Well, I probably would if I was you...

We sam Tim perform in Litchfield, CT recently. It was a wonderful performance and a wonderful evening. We bought some CD's and are enjoying them now. Thanks for the music!

News from Brasil...Adorei all I hope you pode vir ao Brasil muitos beijos Gila

Tim, Thanks for all your support.

Hi Tim. I was at the show at Cindi's house and talked to you about the song about digging in. Can you please send me a single recording of it or at least the words. You know how deeply that song moved me and I would be in your debt if you would help me out. Thankyou your friend Kevin. P.S. I hope we get an invite to see you with Jason Wilber at Cindi's house in November.

Your performance at the Hilly Hundred made an impression on my 10 year old son. When asked what he enjoyed the most about the Hilly, he responded the show on Saturday night. He was constantly asking us to turn up the music as we listened to your Heart Land CD on the way home. I have to agree, with him. Having grown up in a small farming community, spending lot's of time on my grandparents' farm, the last thing I expected to do was to own a farm someday. Now I have 25 acres, with cattle, llamas, chickens, dogs & cats and bale my own hay every year. Your songs ressonate with my soul. The next time you perform at Earlham, we'll try to be there. Tom

I really enjoyed your performance at Hilly Hundred! You have an amazing talent to create word pictures in your lyrics. Great Getaway and Better Days were terrific!

i heard you on XM radio singing a duet called AURORA i think it was called? where can i gat a copy? it was awesome!

I just heard your "She Remem-bers" on Oasis Vol.VIii. What a great song: it made me cry with its lyrics of treasured memories. Thank you.

Really enjoyed the program at Wabash College. Bravo! Keep up the good work.

Dear Tim I am so excited that you will be performing at FBC on Sunday evening !! Keith tells me you will be doing mostly partiotic music. I met your Mom ...Beth.. in at Walmart the orther day .I told her I had a special request of " I'll Fly Awa". I'm not sure it's in your program for that night but would appreciate it so much if you could. BTW I am the mother of Teresa..Sharon...Beth... and Kathy Hughey from Columbus East.

Tim: No idea how I missed learning about your appearance at The Ark a couple of months ago until just this moment. I check your tour schedule fairly frequently and subscribe to The Ark newsletter, so I certainly don't have a good excuse! Nevertheless, I had no idea you were here until I read the comments below. So disappointed to have missed the show, but glad to hear it was a great one. Hope to see you perform again soon. Best wishes to you both!

we spoke breifly at the folk festival in madison this past may. i was living in kentucky but have since moved to columbus.i look forward to being able to attend all of your local shows. do you still need help on the farm i am looking for a job. lol

Tim, We met briefly at your concert in Ann Arbor Sunday night. I enjoyed meeting you and am enjoying your "Heart Land" CD I picked up that evening. Please be sure to send me any Michigan Concert dates you have planned in the future. Steven Johnson Publisher MichiganFolkLive.com

Saw you at the Ark in Ann Arbor last night. Wonderful performance; thank you. Jack Elliott sure gets top notch "road managers"!

Saw you some years back in Pasadena, CA with Teri Hendrix and a Scottish man whose name is escaping me. It was a great show, and I've been hoping you'd make it to the west coast again ever since!

Hello Tim, I live in Bucharest, Romania and I adore Jim Reeves' music. Congrats for your site and all the best in future!

We are loving the three CD's we bought when you were in Bozeman, MT, recently - great music and lyrics, looking forward to more....

We experienced your music Saturday evening in Hinsdale, Illinois. Thank you and Jan for sharing your wonderful spirit and soul with us. That was an incredible evening. I can't remember when I've ever head such heartfelt, real music. It is refreshing to know that there are musicians who stay true to their beliefs. Many years of success to you and your family.

Tim, Mo and Anja's house will forever now be known as "the place where Tim played"! It was wonderful meeting you and having you share your great songs and stories with us. You are a gracious and talented musician. Please come back to Half Moon Bay soon. Cheers, Nancy

Tim, It was great to meet you and listen to your wonderfully woven musical stories at Bob's Half Moon Bay house concert. It'll be fun to see you through this way again. Thanks, Dave

I was fortunate to be present at the Half Moon Bay house concert on Friday. What a great intro to your storytelling and tunes. Thanks, Tim. With your permission, Lost and Found will find a home in our playbook between favorites by Buddy and Julie. Looking forward to your next visit to California. MaryAnn

WOW! "Back Fields" is excellent! Reaches part of my being that could not find its voice - that is the best way I can put it. We are SO glad you'll be back in the Big Sky in a couple of weeks!! Thanks for bringing your gift of "connection with who we are" to share with us. Best wishes to you and yours! PS- thanks for the privilege of opening for you last time: it was an honor that I will ALWAYS treasure! Peace, Rick and Connie Wine

Tim, I am so sorry to learn you will not be in town for our 2nd Annual Historic Columbus Celebration on April 14th. David Sechrest was to get in touch with you but it appears you were already busy. We are celebrating CHS and The Commons as they both will be changing very soon. CHS to be torn down forever and The Commons to be redone. Sorry you will not be there as you and your lovely wife, Jan, were the "highlight" for me last year at Donner Park. Hope you are having a wonderful year and hey, should you have a little spare time before you have to depart for your show in Illinois, stop by The Commons in downtown Columbus, Indiana. We'd love to see you even if you can't perform for us. Keep on singing! :-)

I found more about "Wilderness Plots" when I googled "Americana Music Series".

You are wonderful!!

Tim, your "Wilderness Plots" project is fabulous! How can I find more info about it?

Hi Tim! Things are going well here in Maine. Looking forward to your visit to this beautiful state. Please know you are welcome to stay at our home while you are here! Please say hello to Jan and the boys

Tim, I had the honor of seeing you perform in Cobleskill NY a few years ago. Your music touched me in a very powerful way that, many of the songs related to my own life experiences. After seeing you perform and purchasing the "coyote's dream" cd I contacted my older brother Willard, (whom is also my best friend) and had him listen to your music. He loved it so I obtained a copy of coyote's dream,heartland, and names for him. He listened to them constantly and many times over the last few years when we got together we discussed your music and spoke of seeing you perform when you come back to the area. A few weeks ago I found out you will be performing in Niskayuna, NY in February '07 I was going to suprise him with tickets. Unfortunately he passed away on Jan. 10. I will be at that show physically and I know he will be there in spirit. I just wanted you to know how much he enjoyed your music and how it touched his heart and soul. He honored and respected the land and nature, and lived for his family. "family ,work and friends are all his needs". Thank you for your music,words, and your spirit. They are truly a gift. See you in Niskayuna in February. Take care and much blessings to you, David Madison

Awesome performance in Columbus, Ohio last night. We'll be sending you info on the house concert scene in Columbus. My lady friend, Renilda is the one who asked for "80 Acres" at the Six String concert show.Can you tell us more about that amazing guitar you played. You told me that it was built by a man in your area. I have heard a bunch of really fine guitars in my day, and that one was so suited to your style of playing - wow!! I saw on your tour schedule that you are heading to the New England area. Be sure and try to get scheduled on WUMB folk radio in Boston (if you haven't already done so). They have a noontome show with Marilyn Rae Byers where artists playing in the area come on and talk about their music and play live on the radio. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again in Ohio. Pat Casey

Hey Tim...Glenn McKittrick's friend here...saw you down in Bloomington for the release of 'The Back Fields'...have been a huge fan ever since...I think you put me on the path that I am on...plan on seeing you in Hindsale, IL 4-14...Take care!

Could you please tell me who originally recorded the song "The Rev. Mr. Black" if it was not you.

Tim, Saw you guys in E-Town last Thursday. Really powerful music. Loved the show and venue. Thanks!

Heard on kpft in Houston and was so impressed with Tims' music. Will be purchasing CD soon.

We LOVE the Americana Series. What interesting choices...Grey Larsen and Cindy Kallett were great. Perhaps you could engineer a Metamora reunion? Wouldn't that be great?

Great great show at the Stone Soup Pawtucket, RI Folk Festival! My family loved it and the Coyotees Dream CD is excellent. Thanks for the sharing your songs with us that bright day. See you in Fall River!

Thanx for taking some time out to support our Celebrating Columbus History" day in Donner Park. It was a real grass roots kind of organization inspired by Dave Sechrist that I was proud to be a part of and it was great to have your whole family there.

You're a big part of what makes the central Indiana music scene something I'm proud to be a part of. We will make it a point to catch you live more often in the months and years ahead!

Hi Tim, I'm working with together with farmers for the protection of native birds & plants. I'm also organising concerts in The Netherlands. See www.inthewoods.nl Any chance we will see you in the old world? Love your music, Leo Kramer

Tim, your name has been coming up in conversations of late, and I thought I'd drop you a note to say hello, and hope that things at home are OK. When you get a moment, drop me a line. Ginny and I still remember your evening here in Charlottesville this past February with great affection, and we hope we will get to see you again sometime soon. All the best, my friend! Len Jaffe Barking Cherry House Concerts Charlottesville, VA

I heard "She Remembers" on XM just this past week! As my parents age, and difficult decisions need to be made; well, thanks for touching my heart with your words! I am looking forward to seeing you perform live!

The background in the photo reminds me of property my ex & I had in North Eastern,Pa.I currently live in NYC.Quite different.I tell everyone I am just a country girl from Brooklyn.It is my first time visiting your site.Great stuff!Good listening;and very relaxing.Maria Lee Carta

Whether it's a snowy night in Columbus with a packed audience, or summer night in lafayette with just a dozen or so people - You always put on a good show. It was also great to be able to talk to you. I really appreciate the new album.

hello mr. Grimm just wanted to say hi

Tim, I was at the show April 6th. NICE!! I look forward to attending another concert.

Dear Tim,I heard my good friend Beppe Gambetta some days ago and he passed me your greetings. I thank you so much for that take the chance to compliments again with you for your latest album, it is another gem and in fact I included in my list of the best CD's of 2005 and am still playing it in my radio show of American roots music here in Italy. All the best, Massimo Ferro

Enjoyed your show and will order your CD soon. www.rockabilly.nl/clayton/

The stories are riveting and put to music is simply genius. Thanks for the refreshment! the piano player

We met about a month ago in Bolingbrook when you were playing with Jason. Your music is even more special now that I've been able to have a little "quiet time" with your CDs. I hope the gig in Arthur, IL last weekend went well. I look forward to seeing you Sunday in Geneva, IL. http://hidden-camera.4t.com/

Tim, email me before your next trip to Indy. I've got some early Ramblin' Jack on vinyl.

Thanx for being here. Your one of the many unappreciated gems in Columbus, Indiana...hope your here to stay and I wish we had more chances to catch a musical performance. "Heartland" is a treasure!! http://hidden-camera.4t.

Hi Tim, My daughter Mena & I saw you perform at Len Jaffe's house in Charlottesville the other day 7 really enjoyed your show. I've been playing your new cd in the car non-stop since then. Best of luck to you & hope to see you perform again. Dusty & Mena Garwood

Former bassist & keyboard player for Southern Comfort Band. Looking forward to hearing some local talent!

Loved your show at ME last night. Great relaxing stuff. Wonderful harmonies and guitar. Tim, your guitar sounded great - is is a Louden? I couldn't see from the back where we were seated.

My fater gave me your cd Heartland. It is wonderfull. I'm from flatrock and grew up farming in that area. Your songs take me back there. I'm in the navy and currently deployed to Kuwait. I was wandering if you were playing any shows in march. That is the next time I'll be home. I would like to see you play live. Hopefully I'll get the chance. Untill then. Thank you for your great music.

My husband Ray and I were at the art show for Carol Reesor and the free concert and enjoyed your music so much! You may remember us, our last name is Carter and we talked with you after the show. We do plan to come up to Columbus to your festival in the near future. Thanks again for such wonderful and heartfelt music!!

Tim, I've been listening to your music for years now since I first bought your Heartland cd on our annual trip to New Harmony. I've lived in the ozarks of south central Missouri all my life and your music truly reaches me. I've played around on a flattop most of my life and would also love to see you put out a songbook. I would love to play some of your music for my family and friends. Hope to see you in Missouri sometime soon. djp

Tim i met you a year or two ago when you played with Jason in Arthur Il.We talked about your cover of the rev mr black.Dont expect you to recall it was a while ago. Any way i really enjoyed what you did that night with just a song a guitar and some humor.very refreshing and a class act. i continue to enjoy my copy of coyote dream as well as study it in the hopes of learning some of your craft of wordsmithing.wondered if you have any advice for a 30 year old musician who wants to share his music with the world, as well as share his life with his family. I have some good stuff written but i just dont know where to begin. was wondering if you had any advice. thanks again for sharing your gift tim and i think four chickens for one rooster seems about right too.

Tom Weinland - Friday Dec. 16 Dear Tim, I knew you a little bit in high school, I was CNHS '79. I was in your dad's American history class and knew your little brother Luke. I would love to hear how your family has been doing. I have followed your career and have your cds and have seen you play a few times. I am very proud of you and admire your work. I saw your play about farmers at IRT a few years ago - that was incredibler. I am a huge folk music fan and a super Carrie Newcomer fan. I play the guitar and sing myself and would love to learn some of your songs. It would be great if you would put together a songbook or put some on the website. I now live in Singapore and miss Indiana very much which makes me enjoy your music even more. Anyway, God bless you and your family and keep up the good work!! Sincerely, Tom Weinland

Dear Tim- I have to tell you how much I am enjoying your CD's. We met you at the Spirit and Place Festival about a month ago with Wendell Berry. We are the ones that have bought some land in Pendleton Indiana and plan to start a farm there. We too are going back home (Madison County) like you did. That's why your music totally speaks to me. We bought 6 of your CD's so we could give them as gifts this Christmas. I am giving them to my most precious friends and I know they will love them as much as I do. I REALLY love 80 Acres - Better Days - and That Old Man. As you can see I have been focusing on Heart Land. We have been meeting with Joe Davis of Indiana Natural Builders in Bloomington who is also very familiar with your music and appreciates it almost as much as we do. Hope to hear you in person again real soon. Maybe you can do a gig at Trader's Point Organic Creamery in Zionsville. Anyway thanks so much for your music! Leslie Gray

Hey, Tim. We lived in New Harmony for 10 years, and we knew you then. David was the Episcopal priest there. Remember? We moved to Southside VA in 2000. Today, I opened the Richmond paper, and there you were, playing tonight in Glen Allen. I always remember that y'all lived in a garage for two years while you built your house. Love that! Hugs--- Leslie

thanks, tim, for another memorable CD ('The Back Fields). some of the songs sounded like old friends even though i'd previously heard them only once, when you and jan were at bill's blues in evanston last february. 'lost and found', 'my turn' and 'the back fields' have the authenticity of instant classics, which is the sign of a great song. 'the girl from the north country' has never been more beautiful and it is almost trancelike in its intensity and longing for lost love. like many of your fans, i had been following jan's fight against leukemia on the caring bridge website . i'm so glad your family came through the fire, stronger than ever. joan hersh

Hi Tim, here is a fan of your music from Germany. Your "Names" album blew out my mind. That

11/10/05 Enjoyed your performance at O'Brien's in Rockville MD last night. I wish you could have played longer. I am touched by all of your songs but the one about your granfather reaches the depths of my soul. Your grandfather reminds me of my father. I have all of your CDs since I bought 3 last night. I am looking forward to seeing you in Baltimore next February.

Hi Tim we met you at the Unitarian Church the last time Mark Stuart and Stacey Earle played there enjoyed hearing you sing.We just saw Mark and Stacey last night in Dayton,Ohio.After the show we were talking to them Mark asked if i knew how to get hold of you so here I am.They wanted to know your email address cause they were interested in doing another show at the church,if possible some time soon.so i'll send it to them or if you have time you could email them,at their website.Thanks Alot look forward to seeing you again soon your fans tony and tina

I can't thank you enough for the autograph Tim,Your music really inspired my life.Thank you:Looking forward to you next concert in Columbus.Dave

Really enjoyed the music @ the John Waldron last eve in Bloomington. Each musician/artist is so talented and as a group your outstanding. I hope you will continue to do some shows in Bloomington.

Thanx for a great record release concert in Columbus, Indiana. Wonderful to see Jan onstage again and great to hear those new love songs on your new album. Thanx Jan! My favorite musician onstage in my favorite town in the world. Life is good!

Enjoyed your singing at the Fox Valley Folkfest. I have some pictures of you with Jack and Michael that I think you would enjoy but could't attach them here. Rog

Tim, I just had to let you know how much I enjoyed your music, performance, and humor Sat 8/27 in Arthur, Il. It was nice meeting you. sincerely, Bryan Dunn

Hello Tim, We met about a month ago in Bolingbrook when you were playing with Jason. Your music is even more special now that I've been able to have a little "quiet time" with your CDs. I hope the gig in Arthur, IL last weekend went well. I look forward to seeing you Sunday in Geneva, IL.

I listen your music first on a local radio station and than searched for cds - thx to the internet - i bought all cds at cdbaby. I like your songs so much. May i hope that you will come someday to germany/europe? Thanks for open my musical horizon!

saw you at avalon hoping to see you in fall river mass need directions to venue loved your music telling everyone we know

Great to see Jan looking so good at Schuba's last night. I must be getting old, though, because I can remember when people sat at tables or stood in background listening to the music, not competing with it. Looking forward to seeing you and Jan at Fox Valley over Labor Day weekend as well as at WFMT again. I gave Jan the name of a movie to track down, A Couch in New York, with Juliet Binoche and William Hurt. If you like French comedies, My Wife is an Actress (ma femme est une actrice) with the real life married couple Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal are joined by Terence Stamp in an exploration of on-screen romance's effect on marriage. There is a delightful English comedy from the early 1960s called I'm All Right, Jack. It stars Peter Sellers as a union steward. Finally, the Carry On series are also a treat to watch. Best Wishes, David Child

Tim--Afraid I know you only by rumor, reputation, and word of mouth (thanks for the latter to David Wierhake). I play music on the radio--jazz, mostly, but I reserve one day a week for the great stuff that is played all around me, but outside that category. And that should include your music. Please send me something good for your potential fans in Bloomington, TH, Columbus, Indy and contiguous areas. Thanks, Joe Bourne, WFIU-FM, Indiana University, Bloomington IN 47405

Tim, I hope to see you in the near future when Marlene and I are home in Columbus. My brother Peter & wife Lori are going to see your performance in Texas. Good Luck. McCue recorded two of your cd's I need to get the others.

I had the pleasure of hearing you at the Bugle Boy, LaGrange Texas - I'm the one that bought all three of your CD's - Thanks so much for stopping by - It was a real pleasure to be introduced to your music - I will be following and hope to see you again in Texas

I was just wondering if you were a councelor at Camp Deerhorn in the 70's, because I was a camper & there was a Tim Grimm who played guitar & sang at camp & wondered if you are one in the same.

Tim, It was great to hear and meet you last Saturday in Bolingbrook. You put on a big time performance in a small venue. I will see you again in Geneva, IL in September.

now i know where the musical gene lept to...you !u see , my grandfather richard grimm was a lounge singer and vaudeville act back in the 1920-30's in buffalo new york.he was the son a prominent lawyer who owned the grimm building, back around 1880 or so.my great-grandfather was nearly a millionaire who lost his fortune in the depression , and soon after went insane ! any relation ? thanks ,tone deaf dave.

Heard you last night at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis, we really like your music. You have an awesome voice - even though we were sitting on the pontoon boat you sounded great!

WOW... my friend Zoot mentioned your music, and I came to listen. Sorry that I missed you in Saratoga... catch you next time you're in the area. (Now off to the CD sales department!)

It was pleasure meeting you and having you play some of my guitar. www.rothguitar.com

hey Tim, I saw that your stuff is on the iTunes Music Store!

Tim: It was an honor and pleasure to see you and meet you during the run of "The Grapes of Wrath". The experience was wonderful for Jeremy as well as his entire family! Your music and acting were touching, and enriched our family. As Jeremy told you, we bought all 3 of your CDS that were for sale at the theatre, and have been listening to them all weekend. If you do make a CD with the music from the show, please let us know. We will put our order in now! In the meantime, the CDS we did buy will give us lasting memories of having had this wonderful experience. We thank you for sharing your many talents and gifts.

Tim, Please, Please do some expansions of the songs for "Grapes of Wrath"! I can't get them out of my head. Saw you in Indy in Feb-March and in Syracuse this past weekend and the music was as fantastic yesterday(literally!) as it was opening night. "This Land Was Made for You & Me" makes me cry every single time I hear it (And I heard it 6 times-4 in Indy and 2 in Syracuse). You are so talented!

T & J & boys -Just a quick hello to let you know we've been thinkin' 'bout yuins. Hang in there! Anything I can do - just holler. ("Weather is so nice today...Tim Grimm could write a song about it!") My new quote. lol P.S. Also works for stormy weather-Ha. Later Gator.

Do you know how/where I can get the music sheets for the songs from "Amber Waves"? Thanks Dhan

Tim-What a musical joy it was to see your show at the IRT last night. A powerful perfomance. I wish all my friends had been there. Hope you find other local venues so we can see you again soon. You should do a songwriting workshop. I'd be there!

We stopped in our tracks when we first heard you and Jan singing "She Remembers" at the Bloomington Farmer's Market. Your local concerts have been highlights of the past several years for us. We've baked pies, made great meals, painted the house, driven miles down the road enjoying your artistry. Thanks for the creative inspiration and soul-stirring thoughts. We love the backfield-turkey song that Jan has written. We barely breathed as you sang it in January.

Great Music!

Tim, Was at your concert last night and really enjoyed. Please put us on your e mail list for further concert notices. Also, I mentioned to your wife (who by the way sings beautifully and should do some solos) that there is an 1800's hay press at Wyandotte Woods State Recreation Area (now named O'Bannon Woods after the late governor) near Coryon, IN. If you haven't seen it, it is a must for a hay farmer. Bill Walters

Hi Tim, it took some time but please let me thank you so much for your latest album, it is another wonderful effort of yours. Not only I played it nearly every track from "Names" in my radio show here but I also enclosed it in my list of the best CD's of the year. Massimo

Mr. Grimm: Scott Hunter of Columbus speaks very highly of you, and he informed me that I should contact you. I am an aspiring actor/speaker (currently in a local theatre group and the PA announcer for the area high school sports team), and Scott mentioned that you may be able to give me a couple suggestions or point me in the right direction, given your successful background. Any guidance is sincerely appreciated and welcomed. You have a very interesting site! Have a good evening. Sincerely, Chad Spence Union City, Indiana

I was introduced to you and music at the BlackRock in Germantown MD this fall and immediately became an avid fan.

Heard someone singing your song, "Down the Road" this afternoon on WHUM. Who else is performing it? Of course, it wasn't as good. When will we hear some of your CD cuts on that station? Not that simple to do? Bye, Linda

Enjoyed concert at Lake County Folk Club..gave incorrect email address. Would like email when you return to north of Chicago. Thanks

Tim, Not sure if you remember us Mark Weber introduced us riding you and

Tim - I had the pleasure of having your Dad as a teacher in high school (Columbus - class of '73). I was sitting in my kitchen having coffee this morning and one of your songs came on the radio. I didn't know it was you until the DJ said so. Good stuff! I'd heard from a friend of mine (Bob Brookshire - a former colleague of your Dad's) that you had taken up music as a career. All I can say is - "ya done good". If you ever make it out to Ft. Collins, Colorado, please get in touch. There's a thriving folk scene out here (both in this town and throughout the state), and I'm sure you'd be well-received. Best Regards - Ken Stockton

Hi Tim! Thanks for a good cd i recieve from you my playlist comming soon sincerely Peter

I had been listening to "Coyote's Dream" for the last couple of months, enjoying the visionry, the smooth, yet very rich and siezing lyrics, solid, dusty, sometimes haunting and always FINE vocals and excellent guitar work. You had our audience every second - even with your cold! Man! You are the best I have heard in SO long! And seeing you live in Helena, Montana!!! What a grand treat! Perhaps equal to your music, is the man you really are - I guess that is why your music, in piece and total is so fine. THANK YOU!! Please come back to Montana!!! Best regards, Rick Wine and family

I decided to listen to the recording I made of your Indy Folk Series performance. At the end of a frantic Friday at work, your songs remind me of what _really_ matters. You and Jan (and Patrick?) put on such a GREAT show that night. The stories you tell, and tell so well, really add to the musical content. A perfect balance if you ask me. I'm greatful that I had the opportunity to be a small part of it all. Tried to sign up for your mailing list, but the site did not like me. Just got error messages. :-( Cheers!

Tim - I've been a fan since your days on "Reasonable Doubts". I have nearly every episode on tape. I was pretty upset when it was cancelled. I remember your performances in "The Insider" and, especially, "Clear And Present Danger". And then - nothing. I didn't see you in any films and wondered what happened. Then, much to my surprise I stumbled upon an ad in a Massachusetts/Vermont based music magazine! I had forgotten that you were also a musician. Then I remembered an episode of "Reasonable Doubts" where you played an acoustic guitar. I have yet to hear any of your CDs but I am about to order one. I can't wait to hear it! I'm glad to have found this web site!

Hi Tim and Jan, I love living in Phoenix but miss seeing friends...especially get togethers at the McMahans. I met Wyatt Earp here in Phoenix, descendent of the famous Wyatt. He wishes to do a one-man show at the Eideljourn (sp). It is a wonderful play that he has performed all over the world..any suggestions? If you are ever in Phoenix, I would love for you and the family to stay if you need a place. Sharon Groves, 5101 N 40th St, Phx, 85018 602-522-2343 C:602-421-0650

Thanx one more time for bringing Bill Staines to Columbus...one of my musical heroes. Isn't it amazing how he gets folks to so readily sing along? Incredible.

Hi Tim, I never heard of you before, but I just got tickets for your show with Karen Savoca (who I used to go see back in 1989-90) in Sudbury, MA in November so I thought I'd check out your website. Looking forward to the show!!

Hi Tim, I just listened to a sampling of the songs from the "Names" CD, and Linda and I can't wait for it to arrive. I really enjoyed the cover of "Johnny 99" as Springsteen's "Nebraska" album (yes, I date myself) is one of my all-time favorites. The first time I heard you, I thought about the song "My Father's House" by Springsteen and how much your songs moved me the same as that one did. We are looking forward to seeing you in Sudbury on 11/20. We only have to drive 20 miles for that show. Best of Luck, Ray

Tim, we have seen you in just every possible venue and combination of musicians but love you best stripped to the bare essence of voice and guitar. The Heartland Center in Columbus is such a perfect setting for a small intimate gathering. Thanks. When I discovered Columbus a few years ago and made it my "adopted home town" the icing on the cake was discovering your music. I never get tired of those songs and the new ones are just as wonderful. Thanx also for bringing Bill Staines to Columbus, Indiana. I have loved his music for nearly 30 years.

Tim and Jan, The concert at the Heartland Center tonight was beautiful. It was so personal. I saw your concert at the Commons as well and while I loved it, tonight

Hello Tim. My husband and I saw you last night in Germantown, Md. at the Black Rock Center. Your songs truly moved us. Yes, I'm the one that was crying over 'Better Days'. Thanks for sharing your talent with us! Regards, Cindy

Your songs are wonderful. A friend heard you on radio and told me about them. Hester

hello Mr. Grimm this is adam i was your sons friend before i moved

Borrowed my buddy Dan Basham's CD "Heartland" that he bought at The Berg in Arthur, Il. when Tim and Jason Wilber were there Saturday, July, 31st. Got it wore out. Ha! We drove down from Bellflower, Il. to hear Jason Wilber for my wife and my 25th wedding anniversary. Jason was awesome as always, but we left as new Tim Grimm fans! Great songwriters are supposed to inspire us amateur writers, but Tim's songs are so pure, professional and "from the heart" that I just want to stop and listen (over and over). How can a man sing about dirt, give ya chills, and touch your heart that way? I come from a different soil type, but Tim's lyrics hit so close to home. Can't wait to catch another show (after harvest)!

Great show at the Commons in Columbus for your new album release. I hope my pictures turn out as well as the show did.

Are you ready for producing the greatest Christmas hit in decades? I have a wonderful poem/story written by my niece of the great Christmas tree hunt with her late Dad. What a memory. They searched near Houston/Freetown area where I reside. Can't wait to purchase your new CD.

Folks, do not miss out on seeing this extremely talented and entertaining singer-songwriter. I mean it!

We were in Nashville (Brown Co.) last weekend and I picked up your first cd. Great stuff, I listen to it daily. Looking forward to the new one. Regards. brad

Hi Tim: I forgot to ask you to email us when your new "Names" release is ready to be ordered, because we definitely want to order it. Am looking forward to seeing the IRT production of The Grapes of Wrath for a variety of reasons, and most particularly, because I am an Okie! Thanks again.

Tim: Sorry that we will miss your CD Release concert in Columbus. But, we will be taking our daughter for her Freshman year at college that day. We will definitely plan on seeing you at some point in the future. Thank you for coming to All Souls UU and performing your wonderful music for us. We all truly enjoyed your graciously sharing your time and talents with us. We look forward to visiting with you in the future. Best wishes to you and your family. Carol and Carl Hansen

DEAR TIM , IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU AT ARTHUR,IL. I TRULY ENJOY THE COYOTE"S DREAM CD. THE SONG 1913, IS THERE ANY HISTORY THERE? JUST ASKING. ITS A VERY RIVETING SONG. HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT BACK TO ARTHUR SOMETIME SOON THANKS FOR A GREAT SHOW

Was great seeing you again las night and meeting Jan as well. The show was completely different than last weekend. I really enjoyed hearing the two of you together. Thanks Jan for the gift that was very kind of you. Hope to make if over for the "Names" record release. Enjoy Yourself Russell Brough Arthur, IL

Thanks for coming to our little town of Arthur and making our Saturday night! Keep singin' and smilin'

We had excellent time in Arthur, Tim. Next time plan ahead for the country grand tour.

Truely a pleasure to have met you and Jason in Arthur. Outstanding ...performance, talent, creativity. Definately had something to take back home. Thank You

Wow. What a show last night in Arthur, IL, with you and Jason. Once again, thanks for a great time. Wish you could have done a few more. Thanks a ton for the encore...it was so much fun. Thanks for letting us bother you for the photos. Looking forward to being a new Tim Grimm fan and follower.

Can't wait to see your August 20 CD release concert at the Commons in beautiful Columbus Indiana. What a treat to have you home and performing for us. I hope lots of out of towners take a chance and discover Columbus Indiana while enjoying Tim Grimm.

Tim and Jan, I really enjoyed meeting you and I loved your performance in Cadillac, Michigan, on July 15. I became a fan by the second song. I am eagerly awaiting the release of the "Names" CD and will be among the first to buy. I can't wait until you come back to the area and hopefully to Cadillac or nearby. I have been praising your work to all of my friends. Thanks. P.S. PICTURED Rocks, Tim, not painted, Pictured Rocks.

Hi there Tim! Looking forward to seeing you in Indpls tomorrow night. Miss seeing you and the others at the UU in Columbus, but it appears you have been travelling quite a bit. So glad you will be in Naptown this week...see soon!

Tim, you and Jan were Fantastic last night!! It was also fun just seeing you again! Your guitar never sounded better! Your pretty Jan really knows how to put together those lyrics!! We really enjoyed the entire evening. Laura is also quite a talent!! Would like to know if you would be interested in doing a concert in our home for some friends and neighbors...about how much$?? It would be fun. Hope to be at your August 20th concert. Would be nice to meet you and Jan for a drink or lunch or whatever just to reconnect if you are ever around Indy. We know how busy you are! Would like to hear more about your new Grapes of Wrath project. Take care, Lainie

Tim! Greetings from the middle east! Maybe you could be the replacement for Bob Hope's USO tour. Interesting lyrics. Wishing you the best. Jamie

Tim! Talked to Kent Grimm- he directed me to your website. Awesome music! Best to you and your family - Jenny

Tim - Recieved your notice about the show tonight out in the Berkshires. Hope it goes well. Knox was very excited to see that his name was on the address label. Thanks for keeping him on the list. Knox is looking forward to the new CD and we hope to see you out this way again. Best wishes - Peter and Knox

I saw the show for the first time this past Saturday in Evansville. I am sorry to say I had never heard of you or your music before. That's no longer the case. You have a new fan. Looking forward to some Indy/Central Ind. dates. cd release party in August sounds like the place to be. Scott

Went to the concert at the cabin and really enjoyed your concert. I could relate to the stories you were telling.

Saw Tim's show last night in Rochester, NY at the Golden Link. My husband and I drove the 1 1/2 hrs to get there mainly because I was curious to see what another Grimm would sound like. (I sing folk/bluegrass) And,I was interested to see if we might be related. I got, in return, the chance to see an engaging performance by a great songwriter and his wife. The harmonies were beautiful. There's enough on this website describing Tim's shows- I can only agree with them all. If you get a chance to see Tim, certainly go, even if your name isnt Grimm.

Hi Tim, I'm another new fan from North Andover. I have to agree with Matt and Pete and Knox, (none of whom I know). Wow! I was so impressed I had to get both the CDs you brought. Thanks for signing one. I had one little disappointment though - you had one absolutely beautiful song that touched me deeply, and it's not on either disc. Sadly, I don't remember a lot about it, except I think there was something about feet (not?)touching the ground. I'm not even sure I've got that right. I just know it gave me hope at a time I needed it. Thank you. I guess you're still working on it. As far as I'm concerned, it's perfect. Now please, record it so I can buy another CD! If you want to record it "Live at the Crossroads Coffeehouse", that would be just fine with me. I'll even bring my four-year old, Andrew, with me.

Hi Tim, I saw you in Bradford Vermont on April 9th. Oh My GOD! I can't tell you how you touch me, I grew up on a farm, walked the boundary lines, worked the land. It was a 3rd generation farm. We no longer own the farm, but I am still on the land that I grew up one, going on my 41st year. I know that land like the back of my hand. I tried to tell my son what it was like to work the farm, take care of the cows, having a lot of responsibilities at a very young age, bringing life into this world at 4am, see a calf take it's very first steps. I can't put into words what the smells are like, fresh bailed hay, the mornings after a frost, the feelings as well as the smells of a spring rain, the stillness of a new snowfall.....the utter breathlessness of 25 degrees below zero under a full moon. You captured that in your songs, I felt a kindred spirit, you are blessed with a talent that touches people, I leaned things about myself through your songs, you gave me back some very fond memories, ones that I had let slip away with time. Keep up the good work, don't ever doubt that what you have is a very special gift, a god given talent that not many possess. Keep being true to yourself. Laurie Ploof Williston, Vermont

Just looking up some Grimm's and found you. I have not heard your music but I am going to check it out. You seem to have a number of fans who really love you and your music. April 25,2004- Sunday

Hey Tim -- Matt Martin here, Matt Price's friend -- saw you in N.Andover last night and spoke to you about coming over to Ireland someday. Drop me an e-mail sometime and keep in touch -- great set. Powerful stuff. (You're pretty lucky to have a fan like Knox -- I saw him there last night and he was clearly a discerning critic. Why do I think we'll someday see Knox Lendall with a guitar up on a stage?) Take care, and all best wishes -- Matt

My son, Knox and I saw Tim last night with Vance Gilbert. After two songs Knox looked at me and said "...I really like this man's voice and his guitar playing...". Knox is four years old!! Tim was a great entertainer and has a few new fans north of Boston. The songs that he sang were rich with story. My son wanted to know the story behind each song.We were lucky to meet Tim both before and after the show and he was very much the gentle man you see on stage. As my son says"...the stories are good but listen to his guitar playing...". Before we saw Tim he was just the opening act now he is the main act in the car CD player. Thanks for a great show - Knox and his dad

heard for the first time last night at Mulligans in westboro, ma. the mention of pawpaws in one of his songs brought me back to my growing up in missouri. there are many great pickers, singers, songwriters, entertainers etc. if you want it all Tim Grimm is the all purpose salve for the entertainment itch. thourally enjoyable. thanks for being there, kenny hughes

I was so moved by your set at the Middle Earth Theater in Bradford on Friday, April 9. Your songs are filled with with insight and wisdom. You are blessed to have such an awesome appreciation of the land, and those who have worked it before. The humility and attitude of stewardship rather than ownership that is so dominant in your songs is truly vivid and moving. I guess I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your show, but more, how I salute you for the values you eschew through your beautiful songs. I cannot wait to spend another evening with you. Hopefully more than a short set the next time. Thanks for a set of music I won't soon forget.

Greetings from another Tim Grimm, Harbor Springs, MI. Working on my family tree. My side of the Grimms are from PA around 1885- 1910. Let me know if you think there is a connection. Tim

Hi Tim, my wife and I saw you three times in 10 days the last time you were in New England. It is nice to see you are heading back out here again. Unfortunately, we'll only be able to see you once...in Fall River. We are eagerly awaiting the new CD. Ray

THANKS FOR COMING TO SEATTLE !!--you've been among my "top 4" for a long time now- I NEVER imagined you'd be playing only minutes from my home. Any chance of making "us" an annual stop? **Please send out a notice on your mailing list about when your early CD is reissued & the new one is ready for us** thanks again

I'm looking forward to hearing Tim's songs. I found him while doing an online search for people named Grimm. My dad, Jimmy C. Grimm, and his brothers Bob and Harry were from Zanesville, Ohio. God bless!

Last night at Joe's! What an honor to get to hear you play, and to play for you, too. Jack and I really enjoyed it. Good luck in Seattle. www.lisakellymusic.com

Hey Tim, Isn't it about time for a concert in the Columbus/Bloomington area? We miss your music!

Tim, I can't believe it! Remember me of Ann Arbor Performance Network days? I live in Seattle! I'll come to see you on Mar. 12 if AT ALL possible. Want to act in a piece I'm doing at Hugo House April 20? No real memorization- Aw, forget it. I didn't mean to pitch already. I am currently rewriting Straws in the Wind. I always wondered where you'd gotten to. Where have you gotten to? Where's the hay farm? You've always been one of my favorite people. I wasn't sure it was You- then I saw the half-grin. No mistaking that. Please email me- Any chance of getting together for coffee or conversation? Affectionately, Lyn

I just heard one of my favorite songs at work. "Heaven" It should be on mainstream country stations. I know people that listen to that station would like it. I don't listen to mainstream country stations because I think what they play isn't country. I listen to WFHB most of the time. Anyway, Just to try and get it to a wider audience, I called 101.5 country here in Bloomington and requested it. I wish I'd been wrong and surprised but i was right and the dj had never heard of it. He says he has had up to 4 local musicians in rotation at one time. He said if he had it he would listen to it. Tim, I think you should get a copy of the new cd to them. That song--hell all Tim's songs should be on country stations. There aren't enough stations like WFHB out there to do the job. People don't know what they are missing. Dennis Sipe

AFS Thailand 1977? Hi! I'm trying to get in touch with Timothy S Grimm who was an AFS exchange student to Thailand in 1977. Is there any chance that you can help me? Let me know! Thanks! Jane Ginter AFS Volunteer Juneau Alaska

Hi Tim, you were on stage before me and my band at MAMA's in December and I didn't get a chance to talk to you at all - as you know trying to tune up, figure out your sets and get mentally ready is kind of all-consuming at a gig - but I did get a chance to hear a few of your songs. I liked what I heard and since then have heard some pieces of your CD being played at other jobs I've been at and have liked you even more. As a fellow regional songwriter I appreciate your down-to-earth writing and approach. Those of us in the "middle" have a special perspective, I think. I look forward to hearing you more in the future! Kitty Donohoe

I would like to know if you have an outlet for Tim's CD's in San Diego, California. Phone number is 619/659/1729.By happen stance I was reviewing the Midnight Special's December program and discovered Tim Grimm. Thank you

Thank you Tim for all the wonderful music. Maybe I can come again to your next album release on a snowy night in Columbus. You can find "Heartland" on Apple's itunes for download, not sure of the price. The cemetery is still there near to what was Elkinsville. The town is under water.

Hi Tim,found your website and checked out the audio clips,sounds great,cant find them in stores up here in Ft.wayne. I will look you up next time we come to Columbus Nashville area

Rotten flu bug kept me from seeing you at Cafe Carpe last night. So glad friend Dick had the opportunity. Enjoyed your showcases at NERFA last week.

WOW... my friend Zoot mentioned your music, and I came to listen. Sorry that I missed you in Saratoga... catch you next time you're in the area. (Now off to the CD sales department!)

I saw you in Worcester MA last week (I was the one with the little girl who really DOES speak Russian) and have been listening with my family to your Heartland CD. I'm really fascinated by your words and lyrics. Best wishes, and please add me to your e-mailing list. Jeff Himmelberger.

Were you actually saying Browning Mountain, where these is a cemetery on top? I believe it is near an old town Elkinsville, which I am not sure exists today.

Picked up your FREE lunchtime concert at the Artsgarden in Indy - unaware of the schedule as I walked in and a sense of serene and calm well-being overcame me. I blew off most of my errands (except for the ice cream cone) and proceeded to sit for nearly an hour. You made some observations about the 'traffic' that I've heard other performers also comment on which is somewhat unique to that 'venue'. Enjoyed Browning Mtn and the Hoosier teens the most! Will check out your CDs and keep an eye open for shows in the area . . . Thanks for an enjoyable lunch break!

Sign us up for Brownie Mountain tour! Great concert at the Artsgarden today. Cathy & Bill

Holy crazilla! You sound more like Jack than Jack on Buffalo Skinners. HeyHo...you and Fishken (Me) & Groves are splitting a bill way off next November here in Massachusetts, Northboro, to be exact. Couple of years back we opened 'er up for Jack at Club Passim. I think we're gonnn have some fun here, and I hope we have some time to play/swap tunes. Check us out at www.fishkenandgroves.com. Care to swap CDs? I'll send you ours if you'll send Coyote's Dream. What's your mailing address? BTW, I could hook up another gig in MA, depending upon how Jo Charest feels about it. Or, cover another period of time entirely. Drop me a line off this list. Anyone snooping for a good CD expereince, check out our CD, Going To The West. We'll be playing in Iowa next summer at the Traditional Country Music Festival, August/September.

Hi Tim: Just wanted to write and let you know I put on all three of your CDs and had forgotten how good they are. I have so much music that I often do not get back to many artists. Recently saw Loudon Wainwright appearing with Steve Forbert plus also saw Rodney Crowell. Rodney's last two discs have been incredible. Going to see Dave Bromberg with Paul Siebel opening for him in Annapolis. Not sure if you are familiar with Paul, but he was another of the 70s Greenwich Village guys who was great and never sold any albums. A complilation disc of his two first LPs is available on CD if you want to hear an incredible artist! There is a local coffee house here that holds about 200 that might be interested in you if you decide to come to the DC/VA area. Called Jammin' Java and has a website. Hope you are working on another CD. Be well. Jack

Tim, I really enjoyed seeing and hearing you w/ Ramblin Jack in Austin. The best stuff I've heard in many many years. You inspired me to continue to work on my music. Many thanks. Terry

gonna miss you and beth this weekend but the kids will be there - especially looking forward to it. sorry to miss but the smokies have us for a little break. have a good trip out east sending words ahead of you. blessings my regards to jack tell him i will miss seeing him. tell him those blue gill are still waiting on him.

Hey Tim... I'm helping out on "Navy N.C.I.S" - Mark Harmon's new show...he and I were talking about the old days. Marlee is pregnant with her FOURTH kid...I ran into Kay Lenz in Old Town Pasadena...wondered how you were doing. Hope all is well. Did you ever know I was from South Bend? Take care! I admire those who make it out of LA...that will be me someday. Bill Pugin (aka "Ben Douglass")

Nice show at the Columbus Indiana Chataqua of the Arts. All around me I kept hearing peoples comments... just amazed by your songs. Simple delivery...incredible impact. Thanks again.

Timm Just got home from the Ark. R' Jack was terrific as well as Roy B Binder. And again, it was a "pleasant surprise" to see you there! thanks for the songs. I met you when you were with Jack a few years ago in A2. The show where Jack was sick and you took over for him. Really enjoyed it and mentioned you were a "pleasant surprise". Stuck around as long as I could tonight to say hi but had to hit the road. Wanted to say thanks for your music and for your obvious love for Ramblin' Jack. Take care of him! I was at a workshop in NY this year and we were swappin' songs. I did my best with "Better Days" has become a favorite of mine- great song and CD. I'll pick up your new one soon. Hope your family is well and life is good. take care and thanks again for lookin' out for Jack! bill

I really enjoyed seeing you and hearing you at Donner Park! Just seeing you brought back so many memories of old times in school and in Columbus. Keep up the great work and I hope to hear more of your songs in the future! I have both of your cd's and look forward to more. Linda

TIM, I HAVE REVIEWED YOUR COYOTE'S DREAM AND I'D LIKE TO E-MAIL YOU A COPY OF MY REVIEW. LET ME HAVE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS. THANKS & BEST REGARDS DINO DELLA CASA

Dear Tim, I discovered you by way of a comment from Tom Pacheco while he was being interviewed on Radio Woodstock (WDST). Quite simply, you blow me away. You've figured out that your family & quality of life are numero uno, and at an earlier age than I. Enjoy your farm. The next time your in the Hudson Valley (Woodstock or Bodles or where ever), drop by our farm in New Paltz & we'll talk about real values. Also, you can drive around on my John Deere 4310!! All the best, Kurt

Dear Tim, I have been crazy about your music for a year now because your greatest California fan, Robert Peterson has introduced your music to many of us. I wish you could hear the way he speaks about you and your music, you would be very touched. Because of him I have listened to your CDs and I have become a devoted fan of yours myself. Thank you so much for allowing Robert to perform "Better Days" at the 07-13 Phoenix Rising Benefit Concert. I do not recall hearing him do music without also doing "Better Days" ... it just wouldn't seem right if he didn't do it. If you are ever in the Bay Area, you have a lot of people here who would attend a concert if you have one, or who would love to invite you to come to our jams. I think you would love it, and we would love to see you. Again, thank you for the wonderful music, and thank you for allowing Robert to do "Better Days" ... Best to you and your family. Donna Pacini http://www.phoenixrisingbenefit.org

Hello, I write reviews for The Posh Rock Rail, an entertainment publication based in Hilton Head, SC. I also write reviews for www.gritz.net and their print publication now in it

Hi Tim, We are just gearing up for another season at the Maple Street which prompted me to look in on you. Hope you are prospering.

Hi Tim we met you in columbus Ind.at Stacy Earle and Mark Stuart's show. WOW what a great performance it was.We were blown away by your tribute to June Carter Cash,you are so multi talented.Wished we could have heard more from you(we will in the future) your new fans Tina and Tony

Cool web site, Tim. Came to ya via ramblinjack.com's link. Really enjoyed looking around and made it out to CDBaby. They fixed me up with "Heartland" and "Coyote's Dream". Easy. Thanks and good luck. As Jack would say,"What a time, what a beach, whata dog."

Hey Tim- Got a review of yer CD up on the Freight Train Boogie, written by Scott Homewood, check it out at http://www.freighttrainboogie.com

Hey Mr.Grimm, I enjoyed you coming to Indian Creek Middle School to perform and talking to us. I liked your songs, and would like to have a copy of each of your three cd's. Thanks again!

My family saw you at your concert in Lombard, IL in January (I had the two young girls up front.) Since then we listen to your CD's all the time and my 8 year old chose your CD to play during dinner on her birthday and has memorized most of the songs. Keep up the good work!

Hello, really, a wonderful website. It will be a pleasure to drop in again. I am the DJ of the radio show "Golden Country" at Radio Teutoburger Wald (RTW) in Germany and like to inform myself about the news of the country scene in Europe and in overseas by going through the internet. Good luck and success, Andrea Stolle ... GoCoRadio@stringhouse.de P.O. Box 4006, D - 32025 Herford, Germany

What a great night at Jess & Vicky's. Been playing your CDs for everyone I know. See you at CATH cafe! (if I can find out where it is)Nice to hear real music that sounds preety and says something. P.S. Everyone really loves "Perfect Getaway"!

Tim & Jan.... We had the distinct pleasure of hearing you at Jes & Vicky's place last nite ("At The Richmond's"...to get a plug in for them...). You were AWESOME!! We'll be watching for you to come back to town. Oh, and Mark says he hopes that you didn't mind the little swim on the way home. *laffs* We're hoping to get your new CD soon! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

Wow!! I have to check out new his cd.

Tim and Jan, Great concert last weekend in Columbus. Having Don with your band was an added treat! The new CD is terrific.. thanks for sharing your talents with us.

I just discover your songs!Great job!!I'm an old Ramblin'Jack fan since the Sixtes!!!for Everly yours Alain

Coyote's Dream - can't stop playin' that record! I never thought you could match Heartland but I was dead wrong. Its a gem.

A beautiful snowy night in my adopted hometown of Columbus, Indiana watching and hearing the new Tim Grimm "Coyotes Dream" songs for the first time. Loved the new Unitarian Universalist church...a great space for music and kindred spirtits. Thanx.

Tim, Just wanted again to tell you how much Bonnie and I enjoyed your performance last Sat. night in Lombard. It was nice meeting you. I had just the best conversation with your mom yesterday morning, telling her that we had met the night before. You have such talents and such a way of telling wonderful stories. How can I get to you a copy of the book I just self-published titled LESSONS FROM THE PORCH: A GATHERING PLACE FOR TELLING OUR STORIES. You might enjoy it, and your folks might enjoy it as well. It's autobiographical and talks some about my growing-up years in Columbus. Best wishes. Ed

duh - don't know if i mentioned we live in Orlando, FL. Not much of a venue down here for your music. Wish there was. Maybe the House of Blues at Disney. In any case, you're making wonderful sounds and i hope life is treating you well. Stay clear, David B

Hi Tim, Just a note to let you know how much Sandy and I enjoy your music. We will be at the Buskirk in January. Also, my daughter just emailed and asked if that is you in "Joshua". I told her I would try and find out. Bill & Sandy Haywood, Bloomington P.S. We have an old (1888) farmhouse. Sure love "Heaven" from Amber Waves.

I was a guest at the Hancock wedding celebration and heard your music for the first time that evening. It was the highlight of the weekend and want to thank you for the private concert. I could see that it was very special for my cousin and his wife. The music was great! Mark Brauer Naperville, IL

Hi Tim and Jan! Thrilled to see the website and hope to see you soon!

My partner and friend Dennis Kingsbury sent me this link -apparently he had a great time jamming with you at FARM. Hope you're up in Michigan again soon to check out our little acoustic coffeehouse venue - Live! From the Living Room. We would love to host you!

really a great site - greetings from vienna/austria ! please feel free to visit www.race.at our austrian music-site...

Thanx for being here. Your one of the many unappreciated gems in Columbus, Indiana...hope your here to stay and I wish we had more chances to catch a musical performance. "Heartland" is a treasure!!

Hi Tim, It's about time you did this. Looking forward to the new cd. We love your music!!!!! Jerry and Dana
