Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Farm Song Writer at Hickory Ridge

  • Location: ISM Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown
  • Date: Saturday, July 21, 2012, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Indian Singer-songwriter Tim Grimm will present an evening of original songs of the rural Midwest at the Hickory Ridge Concert Series Saturday, July 21, 2012, at 7:30 pm at the Dickson Mounds Museum.  Tim’s songs are full of the rural rumblings that have shaped his life­rich with descriptive details, and sung with warmth and intimacy­ recognizing the inextinguishable national romance with the idea of the family farm and the vanishing landscape of rural America. 
 
Grimm walks the fine line between folk and country, while maintaining a strong footing in tradition.  We hear the rural rumblings that have shaped his life, but we are also invited in to a bigger picture, as evident in so much of his work. Critics searching for comparisons most often cite Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie and (Nebraska era) Bruce Springsteen.  Tim is an award-winning songwriter and actor on stage and screen.  After several years working in Los Angeles (where he co-starred for 2 seasons on the NBC drama Reasonable Doubts and appeared in several films), Tim returned home to Indiana.  He now lives with his wife and sons on an 80 acre farm close to where he grew up. Tim’s songs are full of the rural rumblings that have shaped his life­rich with descriptive details, and sung with warmth and intimacy­recognizing the inextinguishable national romance with the idea of the family farm and the vanishing landscape of rural America.
