Tim's music is a mix of genres across the board: folk, soft rock, country, jazz and classical, all mixed together in his own distinctive style. Along the way some harder rock, blues and country found their way in. All that history can be found in his own songs, and in his covers (which run from the 60’s to the present day, all with his own arrangements). Tim hopes to capture an experience in his songs, to express the thoughts and feelings that encompass it. They are not all true stories, but he hopes each one rings true.
Are you interested in performing? Sign up at the door for a 10-minute or 3-song slot.
We will have a PA system set up with mics and cables. Please let us know if you have any specific set up needs and we will do our best to accommodate.

They are known for their energetic performances and engaging concerts, often leading audiences in traditional shanties and folk songs.
The Bagaduce Family Reunion Band is a unique collaboration for this event, combining the Gawler Family Band with the Northern New England Ensemble (BNNE) and dance musicians from around the region.

This is an all-comer’s event so bring your fiddles, banjos and whatnot to sit in with the band, or come dance the night away- no experience necessary.
With energetic and danceable music, the Bagaduce Family Reunion Band will reprise their unforgettable performance from last summer’s Isle au Haut Town Hall dance, bringing a large band sound to get everyone up and dancing. Dances will be taught, no experience necessary!
