Tim Reynolds & TR3 Call the Outer Banks Home
Many people have listened to Tim Reynolds and Dave Matthews collaborate with each other on albums with dueling guitars style. However, Tim Reynolds is much more than Dave Matthews’ sidekick.
In fact, he is a front man himself. In the 80s, Tim lead a number of trios. Afterwards, he did spend a lot of time touring with Dave Matthews. Now, he is a front man again, heading a group called TR3.
In addition to Reynolds, TR3 consists of bass player Mick Vaughn and drummer Dan Martier (also a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty).
“Doing the sideman gig, that kind of came later,” Reynolds said during a recent phone interview with the Vale Daily News. “I started as the front man, and it’s more of an expression to be a front man. I’ve always been compelled to write music. As much as I like to play the guitar, to me the real deal is writing music.”
The group played in Vail last week and has been touring, but their home base is the Outer Banks. Keep an eye on the music schedule for some of the local clubs, and you may be lucky enough to see TR3 in action.
To connect with the group and see when they are coming to a town near you, please visit their fan page on MySpace.
