Tim Wiedenkeller has only lived in Tucson for 5 or 6 years, but he has made a huge impression as a musician. Tim has been referred to accurately as "a musical explorer." He can be entirely down to earth with bluegrass music (such as his original "Long Tom") or otherworldly (as with the duet of his original classical banjo song, "Lama" with world-renowned sarod master, Stephen James).

And at all, he is wonderful! As a new Tucsonan, a favorite musical style of Tim's is something he refers to as "Sonoran." Tim himself wrote a song that fits the special category of music of Southern Arizona and North-Central Mexico, that wonderful desert region. His song is a tribute to Tucson, a universal lament to dying traditions. The title is "New Old Pueblo." At www.timwiedenkeller.com, you can check his schedule, listen to classical banjo numbers from Milagros, and watch for his long-awaited release of his vocal songs on the "Soul House" CD.
