Combining elements of soul, pop, rock, gospel and blues, Tim Be Told has exploded out of the Charlottesville music scene with their own unique sound. After tracking their debut album “Getting By” in the Summer of 2007, the band has toured extensively from coast to coast to meet the demand of their intensely devoted fans.

Their popularity has earned them opening slots for such bands as OK Go and Parachute and rankings in the very top of the MySpace unsigned charts. The absurdly talented quintet consists of songwriter and frontman Tim Ouyang, guitarist and backing vocalist Luan Nguyen, lead guitarist Andrew Chae, bassist Parker Stanley, and drummer Jim Barredo. The band is currently touring in support of their highly anticipated latest recording, “From The Inside.”

You can catch the band live this Fall performing on the national “Pick Up The Phone Tour” sponsored by To Write Love on Her Arms, the National Hopeline Network, and PostSecret. The band hopes that its music and association with these tremendous organizations will help to reduce the stigma associated with seeking help for depression and reduce the occurrence of suicides on college campuses.

TBT's energetic live performances, which feature their songwriting prowess, soaring vocals, epic guitars, and addicting grooves, have earned them legions of fans across the nation. However, the band’s ultimate hope is that their music will cause people to view life through a different lens, one of honesty, hope, and redemption.
