I am a native of San Diego and began playing bass and guitar in my early teens in Rhythm & Blues doo-wop groups. As the decades progressed, I played what the people wanted to hear at the time from Rock-n-Roll, Jazz, Psychedelic, Disco, Blues and Country to Zydeco. I was a founding member also of the zydeco band from San Diego “The Bayou Brothers” which I left to pursue a solo career. Some of the acts I’ve opened for include: George Benson, The Doobie Brothers at Fillmore West, Journey, Santana, The Ohio Players (remember the Disco hit “Roller Coaster”?), Graham Central Station, Albert Collins, The Drifters, played the Avalon Ballroom back in the 60’s with bands like The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, was a member of the band “Anonymous Artists of America” who were booked to play Woodstock, but our bus broke down (I was driving) in Ohio and we didnt make it to Woodstock but got out and played a mini concert in Ohio anyway! My SD band “Nova” was booked to Capitol Records when that most famous of all bands, The Beatles, were signed, and Nova was “shelved”. Jammed with some of the elite of the blues and rock world, from Eric Clapton and Albert King to Jerry Garcia and Mike Bloomfield. Had lots of fun over the years. I was one of the original “Electric Kool Aid” test guinea pigs! 😉 Tim is now living in Temecula, where he plays solo, guitar and vocals, and also rockin blues duo with Harvey Freedman at local wineries, restaurants and events. Also available as a full band.

While singing and playing bass in the local cover band “Those Guys.” Timothy has found himself on the acoustic guitar once again. Guitar was the first instrument he picked up, and he never wanted to put it down. His influences are John Mayer, James Arthur and Matchbox Twenty. He throws out different genres of music for everybody to enjoy. Ranging from Pop, Country, 70’s 80’s and 90’s Rock. Timothy wants you to be apart of this experience with him, and will always interact with you and make sure you are having the time of your lives. His focus is to bring you the best music and get you up and dancing at every show.

In a musical age where the beats are getting heavier, the production thicker, and the live performances more theatrical, Dustin Jake likes to keep things simple: Just him, an acoustic guitar, and a great song. With his smooth, soulful voice and groovy, undressed sound, Dustin is the epitome of effortlessness. A true acoustic artist. Ironically, though, it’s been his penchant for simplicity that has brought so much depth to his songwriting.

Dustin’s main satisfaction still comes from his ability to put a story onto a set of chords. He’s spent countless days and many late nights pouring over the subtleties of his ever-expanding song collection. Now, with a slew of new grooves – like early fan-favorite “Manhattan Beach Boulevard” – itching to break out of the songbooks, he’s ready to shed some new layers and tell some new tales. And he only needs a guitar to do it. It’s really that simple.
