Life's An Illusion - Daniel Glen Timms

Independent record artist and FMWA Featured New Artist for June, Daniel Glen Timms, visits and shares his music that reveals a sound that melts into a rich, flavorful and profound musical experience.

Daniel first picked up a guitar at age 14.  Looking at his journey, it would seem like a trip through the heart and soul of American music. Never satisfied to be pigeon-holed into one genre of music, Daniel explored, absorbed, blended and simmered in the sounds of his early years as a performer and musician in Louisiana to his long stay in California and now more recent years in Nashville. The singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer seems to flourish when he has the freedom to take all of the ingredients of his influences and create his own style that he has nurtured for over three decades, since he first strummed that first chord as a boy in the Mississippi Delta.

With his newest record, Life's An Illusion, you can hear an artist that has arrived at a place of mastery of his instrument, the studio and the song. The heartbreaks, regressions, reflections and redemption of this American songwriter are not lost in the commercial sensibilities of the new album that is old school in its sound but timeless in its feeling. Life's An Illusion is a 10-song album by an artist nurtured in the sounds of the 70's, yet like any pure music, rings with truth and clarity of the present. Daniel Glen Timms is a poster child of the independent artist movement who has never given up on his dream.  He has taught himself how to produce his own records, design his own albums and release his music on his own label, while expanding his audience throughout the world.
