About

Hi! My name is Tim Ward Jr. I'm a PA/NJ based songwriter, guitarist and singer, and I'd love to provide live music to enhance your event, whether it be a milestone birthday, a block party bash, an intimate wedding ceremony, a surprise engagement, or a cozy house concert. I've performed music live over the past 15+ years in many different settings, and some of my favorites have been private events, where I've had the privilege of being a part of those meaningful moments in people's lives. Depending on your budget, event type and space, I can play solo (guitar, voice, harmonica) for a singer-songwriter feel, or hire accompaniment (e.g. percussion, bass, additional vocals) for a fuller sound. Part of my package includes bringing my own sound setup as needed. My repertoire accentuates rock, folk, pop, and original compositions, and I've got the versatility to learn and play a wide variety of songs. Let's talk about your event and how I can help make it an unforgettable experience!

Hire Tim!!! We hired Tim and his trio for a birthday party this past weekend and not only did he impress everyone at the party, he graciously agreed to keep playing an extra hour on the spot since we didn’t want the music to end. Tim took the time to learn several requests before the party and also had an extensive list of classics to pick from that the entire crowd loved. Can’t wait to hire Tim again for a party in the future. Thanks again Tim and crew!!

Ally, thanks so much for bringing the trio into a memorable night celebrating Mike! You two and all your people were such a great group to play for (and belt out songs with)! The band agrees we'd play for you all again in a heartbeat.

Tim is not only an incredible guitar teacher but a great guy who really cares about the student. He has the patience of a saint - especially when I have a million questions or if I feel like I am not grasping sometime. He is always knows how to help no matter what direction I am taking to learn. Tim really takes the time to get to know and tailors his lesson to your interests and learning style. If you have extreme ADHD like I do, Tim is the guy to have! He knows how to play the guitar and has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from. He is a fantastic problem-solver, helping me move from feeling stuck to feeling satisfied playing a piece of music. I cannot thank Tim enough for the time and teachings he has given me.

Details: 26 - 44 years old • No formal training • No, cannot read music • Acoustic • Country • Yes, the student has an instrument • 30 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet)

We hired Tim to play two different events at our office. Each time he played with enthusiasm and created a great vibe for the events. He answered any and all questions and promptly when booking the event. On the days of the events, he arrived early to set up and played great. He came with all of his equipment, the only thing we did was provide a stool and an outlet for him to plug in his equipment. Both venues were different, and Tim matched the atmosphere of each location perfectly.
