My name is Tim Chesney. I was born and raised in Southern California. I started playing guitar at the age of seven, influenced by my father Hugh Chesney who showed me the magic that music brings to the world. I loved entertaining family and friends. I joined my schools band (Walter Knott Elementary) under the direction of Dr. Olsen, where I learned to play the trombone. I continued my music practice by joining band in Jr. High school for three years, and into High School for another two years, and also marched in many parades, and performed at many events. Also was a member of the Jr. High and High School Jazz band. I just couldn't seem to get enough music. Thanks Dad! .... J/K
While still in High School, my brother Kevin and I, along with two of our friends, formed a rock band. My brother played lead guitar, and very very well I may add, and I played bass guitar. Occasionally singing lead vocals and other times I sang harmony for the band. Our band remained together through High School and into our late 20's. Our band performed at such places as the world famous Whiskey A Go Go and The Roxy in Hollywood California. We also performed at many local clubs in our area. At the age of 28 my brother had a car accident and was no longer able to play guitar. After my brothers accident, the band didn't seem the same and eventually seperated. A short time later I was asked to join a band called White Eagle as their bass player. This band had already released 3 albums and was working on their fourth when I was asked to help out. We released that album during my stay with them. Unfortunately, the founder and lead guitar and vocals Jack Pemma died suddenely. Very unexpected, the band was shocked. Again, for me another set back.
It was at that time that I decided to try my luck on my own, as I sure wasn't getting any younger. I built a small recording studio and started recording. at first I was just singing along with background tracks. But with all my years of music I had behind me, I found it more challenging as well as rewarding to do all the music myself. On most of my songs you hear, the music tracks is a combination of my music abilities, and the lack of sound engineering training. Although the more I read and do, the better it seems to get.
In Closing, I would like to thank Arnold (Buck98) Floyd for introducing me to Paltalk, Western Heart Promotions, Gary Bradshaw founder of Western Heart Promotions for the encouragement and for believing in me. Technical Knockout Promotions and all the DJ's from the room that continuously show their support by playing my music day after day.
