Stefan Grossman U.S.A Guitarist & International Touring Artist "I had the pleasure of touring with Tim O'Brien in Australia during the fall of 2011 and came away with a wonderful set of memories from the experience. Besides his terrific chops on the guitar and genuine engagement with his audiences, I can't recall a moment when Tim was not smiling whether on or off stage. I also cannot decide if it was more fun performing an impromptu tune with him in a duet setting or just kicking back and watching his show." Richard Gilewitz U.S.A. Guitarist & International Touring Artist "Tim covers an entertaining and diverse range of guitar music styles and techniques drawn from a lifetime's study and devotion to his craft." Nick Charles. Australian Guitarist "Tim O'Brien is recognised locally as a superlative guitarist and musician.
