Golden Link Presents Storytelling Balladeer Tim Grimm with Special Guest Nate Borofsky (formerly of Girlyman)
Rochester, NY – Tim Grimm is a bit of a Renaissance man in the performing arts world, forging a rich and varied career that blends his love of songwriting, travel, and acting in theatre, film, and television. Grimm – with special guest Nate Borofsky, formerly of the band Girlyman – will perform in concert for the Golden Link Folk Singing Society on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at 7:30 pm at Greece Baptist Church, 1230 Long Pond Road, Rochester NY 14626.
For most of his 25-year career as a storytelling balladeer in the tradition of John Prine, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Dylan, Grimm has written primarily about community, history, family, and social issues – often framed by his strong sense of place and the many years he spent on the family farm he built in rural Indiana. His songs are filled with rural characters and landscapes, written and sung with vivid warmth and intimacy.
Grimm’s most recent album, The Little In-Between, traces his travel between the hills of southern Indiana and the Oklahoma prairie – and his internal journey from a rich past to an unexpected future. His album Gone was the #1 album on folk radio for 2021, with its title song as the #1 most played song on folk radio for the year.
For this concert, Tim will be joined by special guest Nate Borofsky, who toured the world with the award-winning folk-pop band Girlyman from 2001 to 2013. Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls said of Girlyman, “Magical musicality. This band will transform your artful heart and mind.” On his own, Borofsky won a Boston Music Award, and several of his songs have been recorded by internationally touring acts.
FolkRadio.co.uk said of Tim Grimm: “… One of America’s finest songwriters.”
“… This man really is a huge talent who needs to be heard by far more people. … Settle down to listen to some of the best story songs around, told by a singer songwriter who is genuinely ‘the real deal!’” – American Roots UK
