Soon to be a staple in every corner café’s playlist, Tim Ruff and his acoustic guitar-based tunes are a relaxing combination of jazz/finger style picking and a friendly, sweet voice that’s anything but Ruff. Influenced by likes of James Taylor, Michael Bublé, Jason Mraz, and Simon and Garfunkel, his songs draw new parallels between pop and folk music.
That is so awesome!!!! Congratulations on getting TEN GRAND!!!! :)
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Tim, what a huge succes. Looking forward to the album. Have fun recording it! And i’m curious about the rap. Glad it won’t be on the album, though.
Hopefully a mile from your parents house won't be too far to travel. :)
