Live Music: Tim O'Grady Jr.

Singer/songwriter Tim O'Grady Jr. will be performing live at Best of Beloit, which is in South Beloit. Tim’s live shows are a blend of well-written originals, traditional country from just about every decade and a dash of classic rock.

Tim is an independent singer-songwriter from rural southern Wisconsin. He is described by Marc Gratz of Midwest Music and Musings podcast as being “as genuine and humble as the songs he writes. His music speaks to the realities of Midwestern life, because that is the life he lives, the life he knows. He just so happens to be a talented singer-songwriter who can bring those stories to life.”

He has opened for several national and international touring artists and performed at venues like Summerfest (Milwaukee, WI), Bratfest (Madison, WI) The Room (Clinton, WI), Backroom Lounge (Riverton, IL), Roadside Bar & Grill (Nashville, TN) and hundreds more along the way. Examples of artists covered are Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, George Jones, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam, Cody Jinks, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, Pink Floyd, The Eagles and many more. All of which are performed with Tim’s smooth, classic vocals and skillful guitar picking.

His singles “Have a Beer,” “Christmas at the Tavern” and “All the Things You Do” have received airplay and recognition in several countries including the United States, Canada, France, United Kingdom and Australia. All three of these songs are on his debut album, The Dollar Man, along with eight more tracks. You can find Tim’s music on all digital platforms and at www.timogradyjr.com.
