A Note from Brother Timothy:
I just got back from a month is Chengdu, China where I spent time singing with adults every morning, storytelling and singing with children too. As you might imagine, the people of China are wonderful, warm-hearted folks. I look forward to going back soon. Just to the left you can see a couple pictures from China. I have really enjoyed singing and creating with Fendrick&Peck. A folk duo from Wisconsin. I produced their last two recordings. They also often support my songs these days. The singing! Oh, the singing! Check out the front porch video below. I am in the process of recording a bunch! A Brother Timothy cd and FranFam6 cd (our family). Stay tuned. I am honored to sing at HempFest with Winona LaDuke's community on White Earth Reservation near Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. This next year our family will be spending more time in Los Angeles (though we are not moving there) because that assures that we see our son Jonah. So good to occasionally have breakfast and dinner with him. He is in the pop band Why Don't We and traveling a lot! Continued inspiration, Your brother, Timothy |
Singing Peace |
Here we are at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, Minnesota... just a few days before it had been bombed. We went to tell them they are welcome here and to sing some healing songs. |

Minnesota Environmental Update:

This 14 minute video shows our odyssey... and explains why copper mining in Minnesota is a bad idea. Watch here:

Here we are at the MSP airport.
The guy on my right with the sign could really sing!
Here we are singing Woody Guthrie's great song
"This Land Is Your Land"
"Brother Timothy has a voice of gold dust and cedar wood"
- Timothy Young, author of Herds of Bears Surround Us
"Brother Timothy has a pure quality that is palpable. At first, I wanted to throw some dirt on him, but as I get to know him, and his songs, I want to shine a light on him... the same light that eminates from him in the first place."
- John Densmore of The Doors
Our Lost and Wild Daughter is... available at performances.
