Timothy Gaines first solo effort will be released sometime this July or August of 2009. Tim has been collaborating on this project over the last several months with his good friend, producer and songwriter – Chris Eddy (son of famed guitar great Duane Eddy).
“This will be a bass instrumental album of original pop songs. We are focusing on the songs rather than the flash and technique that is so prevailent in todays instrumental bass albums. This is an album for the listener as well as the musician. I believe the music will be getting airplay right along with songs that feature singing. I already have several video ideas in mind, ” states Tim.
