Tim Bastmeyer's Self-titled Sophomore Release Getting Great Airplay and Reviews

"Canadian blues singer/song writer Tim Bastmeyer has put together a CD that is tightly structured musically, and rhythmically. The emphasis being on the song and the lyrics more than free wheeling displays of instrumental virtuosity." - Robert Carraher, The Dirty Lowdown Released in November, 2011 the new CD from Tim Bastmeyer made Gonzo Online's Best of 2011 list, coming in at #8. "This is the follow-up to 2010’s sparse, solo acoustic and darkly beautiful Graveyard. Bastmeyer has come up with another winner. Despite the fact that this self-titled album is a band record, the songs are simple and spaciously arranged. It’s elegant, sparse and intimate, a fine blues record." - John Kereiff Bman's Blues Report CD Review bmansbluesreport.com Tim Bastmeyer is a Canadian blues singer/songwriter who started his musical career in 1986 and over the years has played and recorded with a number of different recording artists.

It is a mix of hard blues with a rock edge and blues ballads. www.timbastmeyer.com Sarah French Publicity | 416-566-4188 | sarah@sarahfrenchpublicity.com

New Release: Tim Bastmeyer - Self Titled - Review

I just got the chance to review the new self titled release by Tim Bastmeyer. The release is quite interesting composed of 10 original tracks and one track, "Goin' Down, penned by Don Nix. The release features Juno award winning Julian Fauth on piano as well as James Thompson on bass, Cory Richardson on drums and of course Bastmeyer on Guitar and vocals.

Bastmeyer uses his vocal delivery style, somewhat like Lou Reed, delivering poetic stories as tasty guitar and piano interludes dust through the mix over top of well thought out rhythm.
Bastmeyer will head out on tour of Canada and several US markets in 2012 to support this new release.
