Music
As for music.... I enjoy the styles of old school 60's and 70's Rock, Soul - Stax and Chess, Motown, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Funk, and yes, Disco!! .... I wonder why nobody does that anymore?
I was influenced by what I would consider some really great bass players of my era - Dee Murray, James Jamerson, Bob Babbitt, Joe Osbourne, Duck Dunn, Paul McCartney, Jerry Scheff, Carol Kaye, Wilbur Bascomb, Chuck Rainey, Peter Cetera, Graham Maby, Nathan Watts, Larry Graham, John Paul Jones, John Deacon, Jaco Pastorius, Rocco Prestia, Jack Bruce, Jeff Berlin, and Geddy Lee.... to name a few....

About me:
I have recorded my first ever bass instrumental solo album entitled "Breakfast At Timothy's." This 12 song album was recorded and produced by my good friend Chris Eddy (son of guitar legend Duane Eddy.) The music is geared more to the listener than the "muso"... it's rock music with the bass guitar playing the melody as opposed to a "licks" only type of record. Sound samples are available at myspace. com/timgainesmedia AND IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD ON ITUNES!! See www.Timothy Gaines .com for details Thanks for looking,
TG

Short bio on Timothy Gaines
Timothy Gaines is probably best known as a founding member, bass player, and keyboardist of the 80’s Christian super group – Stryper.
Picking up the bass guitar in 1975, Timothy was soon a regular of the Hollywood club scene. After recommitting his life to Christ in 1983, Tim joined the Sweet brothers Robert and Michael, and guitarist Oz Fox in the band Roxx Regime. Signing with indie label Enigma Records in 1984 they soon changed their name to Stryper. Strypers success over a quarter century has been well documented in over 10 million in album sales, a Grammy nomination, and recipients of multiple Dove awards.
Apart from Stryper, Timothy has toured and performed with many fine artists such as Richard Marx, Ashley Cleveland, Kim Hill, Susan Ashton, Bryan Duncan, Tourniquet, and band Bostons own Kimberley Dahme to name a few.
Timothy has just recorded his first ever bass solo instrumental album entitled “Breakfast at Timothy’s.” Released in September ’09, the CD can be purchased from iTunes and will be sold on the Stryper 25th Anniversary Tour. More information about Timothy can be found at his website – www.TimothyGaines.com.
Catch Timothy with Stryper starting this September 2009 for their 25 year anniversary world tour.
