Tim Church is a Southern Oregon-based guitarist offering virtuosity, versatility, and variety to local venues and audiences. His styles encompass all aspects of classical, jazz, American songbook, blues, popular, Spanish, and Brazilian, focusing on traditional/public domain songs and including original music. Tim has been playing guitar for exactly fifty years. He began by playing rock, influenced by the Beatles and the blues of the time. After seeing Jose Feliciano and classical guitarists on TV a few years later, he changed directions, learning acoustic fingerstyle guitar.
"Guitar is expressive on so many levels and is very intimate," Tim says.
