Timmy is one of the nation's top contemporary songwriters for children. He is best known for his highly entertaining family concerts and educational school programs, and over the past decade his recordings have been enjoyed by tens of thousands of families around the country.

For twenty years, Timmy has celebrated both the historical and living qualities of American, Appalachian, International, and original folk music. USA Today has called Timmy's music "well-crafted rich and rambunctious", and Silo Music compares Timmy to Pete Seeger in "...such qualities as down to earth yet imagination-stretching lyrics, strong values, skilled acoustic musicianship, directness and respect for his audience."
