Description
For a quarter of a century, Tim Grimm has been writing songs of stunning – and increasingly rare – quality. He has a way of drawing you in like only the very best writers can, finding truth in the smallest details and turning those truths into something luminous. The way he uses words is so wonderfully original that it feels inevitable: this is someone who should be a household name. Each new recording by Grimm represents a poetic, intense, passionate immersion in the heart of America. His songs are authentic, straight from the heart, and almost without exception, quietly breathtaking.
A magnificent songwriter and storyteller, Grimm is a master craftsman sitting down, painting a picture, and giving a master class in how songs can hold both narrative and soul. Only a dozen writers working today can write at the level Tim Grimm does. Born and raised in Indiana, he has developed a distinct voice shaped by the Midwest. In these days, Grimm carries the torch of Woody Guthrie's social conscience, the refined and authentic storytelling of Townes and Guy Clark, and the raw intensity of Kris Kristofferson, David Olney, and Eric Taylor. His lyrics, filled with considerable literary weight, often feel like prose written as poetry—meticulous, evocative, unforgettable.
At his side stands Sergio Webb, one of Americana's most distinctive and electrifying sidemen. Webb can play the electric guitar like a demon—or like an angel, coaxing out sombre, cello-like tones that seem to rise from a different world. His style is flamboyant yet deeply intentional; he is a master of his instrument in every sense. Just as effortlessly, he eases from Folk to Rock, Classical to Spanish, Tex-Mex to something entirely his own—and he is a master in each. His versatility is not only impressive, it's essential. Webb adds a vital dramatic tension, a spark, a texture, an atmosphere that lifts every song into a new dimension.
Together, Tim Grimm and Sergio Webb form a duo that truly is more than the sum of its parts. One of America's finest singer-songwriters paired with one of Americana's finest sidemen and guitar poets—together they make magic, start a fire, and let it simmer. Their chemistry is intense, intuitive, and endlessly captivating, drawing audiences into a performance that feels alive, restless, and beautifully human.
This is not just a collaboration.
It's a conversation.
A spark.
A shared flame.
And once you step into the world they create together, it's impossible not to want more.
