Artist description DOVE was a Christian music band that existed from roughly 1983 till about 1990. The first few songs we recorded were pretty much acoustic. However, (like Bob Dylan), we went electric, and added keyboards later!

Artist History Tim Love became friends with Charles Bailey (then known as Charley Ream), in High School. Charley introduced Tim to the Christian Music scene. Tim was already a musician and had performed in several bands. Tim left his band Caution to form DOVE. He originally did so with the intention of making a Christian Rock Band. HOWEVER, the church Tim & Charley were attendin at the time, pretty much believed Rock & Roll (especially Christian Rock & Roll) was of the devil. So, they decided a nice Christian Folk band might be a nice alternative. They took on friend, and Bass Player Don Winters and their original drummer Nate Jordan. People still seemed to be offended, so Tim decided to just write what he liked to write and not worry about what everyone else wanted. This DID improve the quality of the writing, and the band improved as well. We replaced Nate with Jeff Phillips (the youth pastor at our church). Once again the band improved. Toward the end of their musical partnership, Tim wrote a few songs for (and with), Tina Winters (Don's wife). He figured, she could open for DOVE. That would have been fine except everyone enjoyed her act better. DOVE broke up as we all grew up and older. Tim still writes his own stuff which you can hear at: http://mp3.com/Tim_Love
