'You Got It' Music Video Online!

Timothy's music video for his first single from his new album 'You Got It' is now finished and up online! I've got to hand it to Coe Douglas and Jeff Steinborn, they really did a great job directing and shooting the video. Thanks guys and Thank you, super hot Devan Monako for all your help in making Timothy's video super cool! We are already getting a huge reaction from the video so check it out when you get a chance at youtube.com or myspace.com/timothycraigmusic.

The band performed another killer show at Cadillac Ranch on November 13th. Billy Block, along with 103 WKDF and Digital Rodeo even presented Timothy with the 1st Annual Locals Only Unsigned Artist Award for his song 'You Got It'nominated as one of The Best of Locals Only songs of 2007. I also want to welcome Timothy's new bass player Paul Sidoti into the band, he rocked all the songs like he had been playing in the band for years!

The latest update on the new album 'You Got It' is that Tom Harding and Timothy are still putting on some finishing touches. They still might even record a special stripped down acoustic version of the song 'One Small Miracle'. The song originally appeared on Timothy's fourth release 'Grand References' with a full band production. Looks like were looking at a January, 2008 release date!

Happy Thanksgiving! -Amy C.-

Music Video & More...

Well, a lot of really cool stuff went down this month starting with Timothy shooting a music video for his hot new single "You Got It"! The video was shot Sunday, Sept 9th. in Tim's house with the beautiful model/actress Devan Monako and is now in the editing process. I'll be sure to let you know when the video is up on Timothy's MySpace and YouTube. That is, of course, if you don't see it first on GAC or CMT! The brand new album also entitled "You Got It" is just about finished as well. Timothy and Tom Harding spent a lot of time in the studio this month and feel it should be completely finished in October! The ten song CD sounds amazing and includes the following songs (not necessarily in this order) "You Got It", "She's All About The Beat", "Close Enough For Me", "Real Big Love", "Got Good Friends", "Not Done Yet", "I Can Stop", "Tell Me Where It Hurts", "Lonesome Highway" and "Groupie Love Song".

There have also been several performances in September! On Sunday, Sept. 16, Timothy performed "She's All About The Beat" solo from Cadillac Ranch which was also broadcast live from The Billy Block Radio Show on 103 WKDF. Timothy then took a ride out to the Tin Roof in Cool Springs the same night, jumped up on stage and sang "You Got It" and "One Small Miracle". The very next day Timothy performed "You Got It" with just his lead guitar player Colin Whinnery on a new Channel 5 television show called Marooned. I'm not sure when the TV series actually airs, but I'll be sure to keep you posted as I learn more. The final performance of the month was at Cadillac Ranch / The Billy Block Show on Tuesday night, Sept. 18th, with the whole band. They opened with "Can't You Feel My Heart" then went into "She's All About The Beat", "You Got It", "Crime Of The Century", "Real Big Love" and wrapped it up with "Close Enough For Me". Another packed, high energy, kick ass show!
 
I'm ready for Rocktober, how 'bout you?   -Amy C.-

Hotter Than The 4th Of July

The TCB is really firing on all cylinders! The show at F.Y.E. (Tower Records) went off without a hitch. Timothy played a six song set with fiddle player Lindy Donia and there were even a few country stars like Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton in the store listening to the show! The Cadillac Ranch show was great as well! Timothy opened the show with the song "Words In The Wind" from his third album "State Line" and then performed "She's All About The Beat". The band then played a brand new song called "Not Done Yet" where Lindy got to show off her pipes and sing the last two choruses. The band then went into their big radio hit "You Got It" which of course the audience pretty much took over again by singing the break down and choruses. "Real Big Love" and "Close Enough For Me" was the last two songs the rowdy crowd got to hear before the band left the stage. Timothy's brother Ted was even in the house for the show and got to witness the band light up the stage!

 It seems like South Florida where Timothy grew up is starting to jump on the "You Got It" train! The Ft. Myers News-Press printed a really nice article that came out on Friday the 13th. and reprinted the story in their Sunday paper.  KIX Country in Punta Gorda is now playing "You Got It" and I want to thank Dave Darrel at KIX Country 92.9 for playing the song and also for airing a phone interview with Timothy on Sunday the 15th. If you want to check out the News-Press article just click on our press/reviews button.

Red Hot July!  -Amy C.-

Big Big June, You Got It!

Well, June was certainly a big, exciting month! Timothy had five live performances and a fantastic week at the CMA Music Festival / Fan fair. The first two shows were solo and unplugged at the Ranch 104.1 picnic in Carthage, TN and the Acoustic Corner in the Nashville Convention Center during Fan Fair. The band then played a rockin' set on a Saturday night at Doulgas Corner Cafe' on June 9th. Timothy's fourth performance was live in the Nashville 103 WKDF studio with fiddle player Lindy Donia playing the song "She's All About The Beat"! The station also played Timothy's new single "You Got It" from the Fan Fair Sampler,  I'll get into the whole "You Got It" thing in a second. The band finally wrapped up June with a stunning show at the Cadillac Ranch on Broadway! Thanks Lindy Donia for filling in on fiddle for Liz Langford, I'm sure we will be seeing and hearing a bunch more from you!

Ok, Timothy's first single "You Got It" from his brand new album entitled "You Got It" (which isn't even finished yet) is really catching on with radio! We did a mail out of Timothy's Fan Fair Sampler and the following radio stations are already playing the song! A REAL BIG THANK YOU goes out to The Ranch 104.1 in Carthage TN, 103 WKDF in Nashville TN, WRCO in Richland Center WI and Outlaw Country D99.3 in Dodgeville WI. I'll be sure to add stations to our www.myspace.com/timothycraigmusic list as they add "You Got It" to their play list. Call your favorite radio station and request "You Got It"!

Hope you can catch our July shows at F.Y.E. on Tuesday, July,17th. and at the Cadillac Ranch on the same day! To learn more just visit the TCB show schedule.   -Amy C.-

Fan Fair 2007!

Well, this years CMA Music Festival has come and gone but ended up being an awesome experience! Though it was Timothy's first Fan Fair it didn't stop country fans from lining up as his exhibitors booth. Plenty of the CMA Music Sampler CD's were sold as well as pictures and "You Got It" T-Shirts. I don't think I've ever seen someone sign their name so many times! lol The Fan Fair Sampler certainly helped promote Timothy's music all over the country as well as the world. For more information on the ten song CD Sampler or to order a copy, just click on our music page.

Both of Timothy's live performances went over big! His first set was with just his bass player Michael Joyce as they played about six tunes, unplugged in the Convention Center on June, 7th. The second show was a nine song Saturday night set on June 9th. with the whole band. Timothy started the Douglas Corner Cafe' show alone on a bar stool singing "Tell Me Where It Hurts" which really went over sweet. The band then joined him and rocked through most of the songs from the Fan Fair Sampler. Thanks Steve Percels for filling in on guitar and to Wayne Killius for filling in on drums, you both didn't miss a beat!

Over all the 2007 CMA Music Festival / Fan Fair was great for the TCB and their fans! Billy Block even wrapped it all up on his 103 WKDF radio show Sunday, June 10th. by featuring Timothy's single "You Got It" all over again! Billy had a lot of kind words to say about Timothy and the bands shows at the Billy Block Western Beat. The Western Beat is now holding their Tuesday night ritual at the Cadillac Ranch on lower Broadway. I hope you can make it out for the bands first Cadillac Ranch performance on June, 26th.

I can hardly wait for Fan Fair 2008!  -Amy C.-

The 2007 CMA Music Festival Sampler & "You Got It" on the Radio...

Timothy just released a CMA Music Sampler to help promote his music at this years Fan Fair. The ten song CD includes five new songs that will appear on his brand new album "You Got It" due out this August and five songs taken from his previous four albums. One of the new tunes is a special stripped down version of a song called "Tell Me Where It Hurts" which was written by Timothy and Sandy Ramos. Though it's recorded on the sampler by just Timothy and his acoustic guitar, it will probably end up being recorded with the whole band on the new album. If your interested in more details on the Fan Fair Sampler or want to purchase a copy, just click on our music page.

Timothy's new song "You Got It" (written by Timothy & Billy Falcon) seems to have found it's way to several Radio Stations! Dennis Banka at the Ranch 104.1 here in Nashville loved the song so much that he added it into regular rotation. The Ranch took a chance on Timothy and it seems to have really lit a spark! Billy Block even featured "You Got It" on his very first Sunday night Nashville radio show at 103 WKDF. We are even getting emails from some Wisconsin residents saying their hearing and loving "You Got It" on their local stations. Thanks Dennis and Billy for starting a fire that we hope keeps on burning! 

Thanks everyone for packing the shows over the past months. All the shows have been awesome, you can really feel the bands energy on stage! Timothy has a great band and great songs and this summer is gong to rock!  We are all looking forward to the CMA Music Festival / Fan Fair which takes place the first week of June. Timothy has a special unplugged, acoustic show at the Convention Center June 7th. and the whole band is going to do their thing at Douglas Corner on Saturday, June 9th @ 7:30pm. For more details just check out our show schedule.

I told you there was big stuff happening!  -Amy C.-

Fiddling Around, A Brand New Album and Fan Fair 2007!

Well, it all started a few Monday's ago when Timothy asked a great fiddle player named Liz Langford to jump up on stage at Fuel. It was just Timothy and Liz as they performed "One Small Miracle" and "You Got It".  It sounded so great that Timothy asked Liz to perform with the band at their next big show at 12th & Porter on Tuesday, March 13th. Timothy opened with "One Small Miracle"  with just Liz playing and singing. It was an awesome show, I don't think I ever witnessed a show when Timothy started without the whole band. The band then joined Tim and Liz and played "She's All About The Beat", "You Got It", "Crime Of The Century", Real Big Love" and ended with "Close Enough For Me". It was a really special night and having Liz in the band put a new and fresh spin on things.

Timothy is currently working on his fifth album and should have it completed by June. He's working with Tom Harding at Tombstone Recording Studio here in Nashville and they have already completed the first four tunes. You can check them out on Timothy's Myspace Music profile at www.myspace.com/timothycraigmusic! The new CD should have a total of ten songs, all co-written by Timothy.

We just found out that Timothy will be participating in this years Fan Fair / CMA Music Festival. Timothy will have a booth to greet fans and promote his new album and T-shirts. The event takes place at the Nashville Convention Center and runs from Thursday, June 7th to Sunday, June 10th.  He will also be performing that week, I'll be sure to post when and where as soon as it's available. To learn more just visit: www.CMAfest.com.

You Got It, Sandy Ramos, and Fuel...

Actually we got it, brand new "You Got It" baby doll T-shirts! The shirts are brown with pink lettering "You Got It" on the front and "It's Yours" on the back, sizes small, medium or large. You can pick one up at any of the shows for just 10 bucks! I'll make sure I put up a few photos of the shirts on our merchandise page so you can order them from the website.

Timothy debuted another great new song Tuesday night at the 12th & Porter show called "I Can Stop Anytime I Want", written by Timothy and Sandy Ramos. Sandy has written quite a few big songs for the Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill and many others. To learn more just give Sandy a google! Speaking of the show on Feb. 13th., I have to give a big shout out to Shawn Byrne for filling in on bass for Michael. Everyone was blown away on the job you did with such a short notice. THANK YOU, SHAWN! Thanks to everyone for getting out to the show and to the increasing number of "You Got It" girls for wearing their new shirts!

Timothy has been showing up at a new club called Fuel on a few Monday nights, which is located on Second Ave. in Downtown Nashville. The event is hosted by Billy Falcon & Billy Block and various acts get to jump on stage and do their thing. Timothy's first visit on stage was with just his drummer John Mctigue and they performed a few tunes, on his second Monday he performed with John and his bass played Michael Joyce. Maybe some Monday Timothy will have his whole band show up for a few songs!

Happy Valentines Day! -Amy C.-

Happy New Year and iTunes!

Happy new year folks, the TCB is really looking forward to big things happening this year! I'm not one to  put the cart before the horse, but it seems like there are some record label people checking out Timothy and his band. We shall see what the next few months will bring! Thank you everyone for braving a really cold night on Jan. 30th and making it out to the bands first show of the year at 12th & Porter. We received a lot of emails and myspace messages from people expressing how much they loved the show. As far as the studio thing goes, Timothy and studio owner Tom Harding should be wrapping up the four tunes they recorded in the next few weeks. We will make sure everyone gets a copy or can check them out on www.myspace.com/timothycraigmusic. I also think there are some "YOU GOT IT" baby doll T-shirts in the future. For those of you that haven't heard the song "YOU GOT IT", it was written by Timothy and Billy Falcon and really goes over huge at all the shows. The audience always gets into it and sings along!

Hey, you can now listen or buy Timothy's music on iTunes! Just go to www.itunes.com or click on any of our iTunes links. You can even compile your favorite songs and make your very own Timothy Craig greatest hits album!

Come out and rock it up with us at the next show @ 12th & Porter on Feb. 13th, and girls while you're there don't forget to pick up a "YOU GOT IT"  baby doll!
