Tim O'Brien

After seeing Doc Watson on TV, became a lifelong devotee of old time and bluegrass music. Living in Nashville since 1996, O’Brien’s skills on guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and banjo make him an in demand session player.

The International Bluegrass Music Association awarded him song of the year in 2006 and named him best male vocalist in 1993 and 2006.
