EP Focus: Tim Solly

EP Title? Waking Up

How many releases do you have now? Two. A Life To Dream in 2008 and Waking Up in 2017.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? The impending birth of my first child. Nothing like a having a child to make you reassess what you want to achieve in life. Hence the album title Waking Up.

What's your favourite song on it? Rest. Written about my auntie's battle with cancer and from my uncle's perspective. A permission song about letting go.

We'll like this EP if we like... Alt-country, folk and Americana music. Think Johnny Cash meets Paul Kelly.

When and where is your launch/next gig? 14 Oct, Wesley Anne. Supported by Andrew Swift and Dearly Departed.
