Details:
Self-taught pianist and songwriter Tim Horning has been writing, recording, and performing his original music since 1980. Coming of age in the era of bar bands and cover tunes, Tim became a veteran of the open mic scene and helped to pioneer the original music movement in Omaha during the 80s. He performed in diverse venues, from the Old Market''s Howard Street Tavern to the Miss Nebraska Scholarship Pageant, had his music on local radio and television, lent his voice to numerous commercial jingles and earned a degree in the music business from the Art Institute of Dallas.
Tim was raised with a musical heritage. His parents were musicians with varying musical tastes, and as a child Tim was indoctrinated by styles ranging from Broadway to Motown and from Big Bands to The Beatles. In the 50s, Tim’s father grew up next door to, and jammed with, The Everly Brothers just prior to their fateful move to Nashville, and his mother sang professionally in the mid-60s. His grandfather had performed on old-time radio, and his stepfather was in the original Spike Jones Group and performed with Rudy Vallee. This eclectic mix of influences established in Tim an understanding of, and appreciation for, the timeless melodies which have outlasted many a fleeting musical fad. While Tim attended concerts by many of the super groups of the 70s and 80s, he equally enjoyed seeing greats like Count Basie, Dave Brubeck and Liberace.
Tim’s ear for quality can be heard in any of the many dozens of songs he has composed. Writing his own lyrics, he is able to marry the music and the message in a uniquely personal and powerful way whether the song is a tender ballad, up-tempo pop or hard-driving rock. At the root of his works is a strong piano foundation inspired by his musical mentors like Elton John, Billy Joel, Lionel Richie, Neil Sedaka, Barry Manilow and other Top 40 pianists. Tim garnered momentary interest from major labels Arista and Geffen, and had his music described as "Really excellent!" by Guy Babylon, Grammy-winning keyboardist for Elton John. Tim’s songwriting is equaled by his abilities as a vocalist, and his dynamic performances have transfixed audiences of all ages and tastes.
With the advent of digital technology, the opportunity to record the songs the way Tim had always envisioned them became possible, and he is currently remastering selected songs from his extensive catalog while writing a fresh collection of new music for another upcoming album. A talented arranger and producer, Tim strives for a crisp and clear sound in his recordings using primarily acoustic instrumentation with the occasional dash of electronic spice.
Tim’s goals include becoming a published songwriter and recording artist, writing a musical and eventually creating his own organization aimed at helping other artists break into the business.
