Music of the Mountains: Where to be and what to see -- Tim Merkel

Tim Merkel only performs under the name “Timothy” because when he initially set up his website, the domain timmerkel.com had already been taken (as of this writing, that URL now pulls up a 404 Not Found error). Outside of his performances, though, everyone who knows him personally calls him Tim.

Merkel started playing guitar and writing songs around twelve or thirteen years old while living in Chicago. He performed at local open mics in Old Town where various folk heroes of his also performed. Coming out of college, he became a professional salesperson but would always take his guitar on work trips to find open mics across the United States, including Oregon, Washington, Ohio, Wisconsin, California, and New Jersey. To this day, he still plays wherever he can in venues ranging from breweries to coffee shops.
