Timothy Frantzich [fran-zik] has been writing songs and singing for more that three decades. He is primarily interested in harmony. Song shared between peoples, between cultures, between philosophies.
Brother Timothy released his first solo CD Our Lost and Wild Daughter in 2012 and promptly took a right turn and began teaching grade school. He taught 4 years at City of Lakes Waldorf School. He was blessed by that good run and those children. Now Timothy is back to full time music.
Timothy believes many more of us CAN sing than DO sing... and he has learned people who do not consider themselves singers can sing beautifully together.
Timothy has lead community singing in China for 7 weeks during 2018.
Timothy divides his time between Stillwater, Minnesota and Los Angeles, California.
Now days Brother Timothy loves singing, writing songs, producing other's music, raising chickens and eating eggs.
Brother Timothy's Peace and Justice work
It is a good step to sing with intention... intention toward less violence, less war, more peace... with the God given fact that each human being is our sibling. No de-humanization. Golden City, Everybody's Chains Came Off and Simple Voice have been sung many times with groups at Ashley Pond in Los Alamos, New Mexico... the Epicenter of Violence in our world... our Nuclear Weapons Labs. The picture above comes from that experience.
Timothy says: "a few years ago I fell in love with the voice of Dr. Martin Luther King. He had an angel-tiger inside. His combination of truth, intelligence, heart, spirituality and fire made him our country's greatest leader"
Dr. King was Timothy's door into writing and singing songs of Justice.
Dr. King showed us how ancient text can be relevant right now...
not just for Christians... but for all of us...
how Heaven can be worked toward... even experienced... right here... now.
Timothy has sung in Washington DC, 4 x Los Alamos, 2 x NYC's Riverside Church, Minneapolis, Santa Fe and more."
