Artist description When he was 6 years old, he would grab his beginner guitar, put on a cowboy hat and blue cape, and watch Saturday morning cartoons while pretending he was some kind of singer-songwriter-superhero. Several years later, the hat and the cape lost in a bizarre garage sale incident, Tim Burlingame has no x-ray vision and no bullet-proof skin. Having been voted one of the "Hottest 100 L.A. Artists" in a recent Music Connection magazine poll, he is however beginning to gather some attention for his strong lyrical imagery and broad guitar textures. In 1997, Tim was selected for ASCAP's highly-regarded Lester Sills Songwriting Workshop. A winner in the songwriter competition at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Colorado, he was also invited to perform at the High Sierra and Napa Valley music festivals. Tim has showcased at the Folk Alliance conferences in Memphis, Tennessee and Albuquerque, New Mexico, and his song "Meeting Hall" was selected for the 1998 DiscMakers compilation CD "Southern California's Heavy Hitters". He toured this summer in Boston and New York, spent 3 weeks this fall playing at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is currently playing and promoting his CD "Meeting Hall". Just don't ask him to play on Saturday mornings...he's busy.
