Tim Mullally - Bio
With core influences like Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Jimi
Hendrix, Tim Mullally has no lack of resources for
inspiration.
For nearly 20 years hes been performing his own style
of progressive pop, rock and blues in the Tampa Bay region.
Whether fronting psychedelic rock trio Tommy Tye Dye,
lead guitarist for Multi-Color-House or collaborator with
Robert Wegmann; Tim's been inspired both in the studio
and on stage. Witness his solo release Mountain Hike, the
Mullally/Wegmann release The Mayfly Glimmer, or the
recently released Tommy Tye Dye retrospective for solid
evidence.
Over the past few years, Tim has retired the '64 Strat and
Marshall stack to bond with
the acoustic guitar. "I think its the ultimate challenge,
explains Tim, to make music with nothing but 6 strings,
your voice, and maybe a harmonica." Currently performing a
variety of covers and originals, Tim has
embraced a simpler, more organic sound. A song like Why
Why Why from his latest release Acoustic Mullallyland,
questions the morals of our
world leaders and the human race.
Tim remarks, "life is all about emotion and energy. Those
are the key elements that people respond to. I try to bring
them together in my music. That's what Dylan does, that's
what Lennon and Hendrix did, and that's what all the best
musicians do."
Born in Cleveland on January 8th, the same day as
Elvis Presley and David Bowie, Tim new he was destined to be a musician. After relocating to Florida with his parents in
the early 70's, it wasn't long until he began playing guitar.
Performing in school stage bands and with local rock bands
helped him to develop his own style at an early age. Not long after graduating high school, he moved to Chicago and
learned to play blues and jazz. While in Chicago he started writing and performing original music with a new wave
band called Can't Move. Tim eventually moved back to Florida and started Tommy Tye Dye with his brother
Tom. They were regulars on the Tampa music scene in
the early 90's and opened for Nils Lofgren, Flock of
Seagulls, the WMNF Heatwave and countless others.
Tim later joined Multi-Color-House as lead guitarist and
vocalist until finally deciding to record his first solo CD, Mountain Hike, in 1995. Soon after that release he
teamed up with Robert Wegmann and they continue
to collaborate on various projects to this day.
Now focused on his new band, Tim Mullally and the Disappeared, Tim is writing and recording new material for a future release.
