------------------

Tim's group is excited to be returning to the Bop Stop where it will be presenting originals and rearrangement of standard material. This material was inspired by the likes of Kurt Rosenwinkel, Radiohead, Ben Monder, Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth, Bartok, and more. "There is a mood I've gone after, the mood of music that is always going somewhere, the pull the narrative is a story". With the material, bringing in new players always brings in new inspirations and colors never pulled before from it. The band is excited to present to you again.

Tim is excited to have Justin Tibbs join the show. Justin and Tim go way back now with different projects in the past including Chromadrive and Jared Lee's band. Tim has also had to pleasure to sit in a few times with Justin's power house band JT's Electrik Blackout. Justin is one of the most exciting sax players in the North East Ohio area and has performed on countless projects including the ever popular Acid Cats.

Akron/Cleveland-based guitarist and composer Tim Mirth is an adventurous artist constantly seeking to create, explore, and bring energy into the world. With a seemingly limitless variety of output, it’s the deep love of jazz music and spirit that drives all his various projects. Studying classical and jazz in college and with great musicians such as Steve Adelson, Steve Aron, Jack Schantz, Rodney Jones, Peter Mazza, Bob Fraser, and Chris Crocco, Tim is constantly looking to refine his craft. It's the reaching and seeking from artists like Coltrane, Rosenwinkel, Mingus, and Dolphy that Tim constantly strives to reach, even learning other instruments from as viola to widen his perspectives.

Tim was recently named Modern Guitar Harmony guitarist of the month and has performed throughout the Eastern US and Europe with a variety of groups such as Night Terrors, Stellar Regions, Red Side Visible, and the Tim Mirth trio. He’s been involved in releasing over 10 albums, including some recent recorded projects like Mirth Co-Liberation’s Wayne Shorter Tribute, Red Side Visible’s “A Break from Normality” adventurous odd-time jazz metal, Night Terrors’ “Hear Again?” free jazz/through-composed madness, and fusion power trio Stellar Regions.
