"Darkness Won't Prevail" is a contemplative jazz/rock twist on some of our favorite carols from centuries past and a modern original. This expressive EP encourages your soul to worship despite times of hardship and pain. Featuring some of LA’s finest session players including Abraham Laboriel, Abe Laboriel Jr., Tom Ranier, Andrew Synowiec, Laura Brenes, and longtime friend/vocalist Charlotte Pope.
Tim's first demo EP recorded and mixed MANY moons ago on a Tascam 688-multi- track cassette midi studio in his bedroom. Before it was popular to record in your bedroom. No Pro Tools, No editing, No pitch correctors and No fancy plugins. Lots of vintage Roland, Alesis, and Yamaha gear used on this EP. Tim's voice is a little "younger" sounding and the project was completed on a one shoe string budget. Featuring longtime friends Scott Lippincott, Charlotte A. Pope, Robert DeVaughn, Jox, and Kurt Coble. Greg Bond makes an appearance on Clouds with a bluesy solo and 3 songs feature some funky guitar playing by David Samuels. Enjoy this blast from the past.
