Format: CD – Digital
Label: Handmade Records
Release: 2026

Tim Easton is the youngest of seven children, born in Upstate New York, and raised in Tokyo and Akron, Ohio by a Canadian Mother and American Father

Influenced by a combination of songwriting legends and folk masters from his older brother’s and sister’s vinyl collections, Easton found himself busking the streets of Europe on and off for seven years, living in Paris, London, Prague. It was this period where he honed his songwriting style of folk based storytelling of personal adventures, often peppered with bold confessions or “tell it as it is” reality.

Returning to the USA to record his debut solo album ‘Special 20,’ in Nashville, he signed with EMI Publishing in 1999, relocated to Los Angeles, performed at songwriter hubs like Largo, and signed a recording contract with New West Records. His first release for the label was 2001’s ‘The Truth About Us,’ featuring three members of WILCO as the backing band. Next came ‘Break Your Mother’s Heart,’ garnering 4 stars in the print version of Rolling Stone and heralding his songwriting as having a “novelist’s sense of humanity.”

World tours have continued for over twenty years. Several albums have been released after a relocation from Joshua Tree to Nashville where he signed with Thirty Tigers and Oklahoma’s BLACK MESA RECORDS. His fourteenth album, “fIREHORSE,” produced by Kevin Nolan and featuring a full band in yet another direction in the arch of the consummate songwriter and troubadour.

130 original songs are on his Spotify page and five books of poetry/essays have been published. He also released a limited edition, hand painted jacket—vinyl only release of his long dormant alter-ego DARK WATSON in 2025, and will be touring Australia, North American, and Europe in 2026.
