Anyone who has met Australian singer/songwriter Tim Reid or listened to his music knows that he occupies a magical space. Its a space where a distinctive blend of unassuming flair and ambition collide to produce an artist who is at once approachable and intelligent. Tim Reid's music is characterised by an easy openness of lyric that only comes with genuine poise. In his own way and in his own time, Tim has focussed on becoming a mature songwriter and performer. He released his first EP Catherine in 1998, receiving local and national airplay. It was around this time that Tim began showcasing his talents to live audiences as a solo artist. In late 1999, a song he recorded for ABC Radio, World That's Made For Two (featured on his current album) was play-listed on affiliated ABC AM stations and has maintained a constant level of airplay since then. He has co-written, performed in bands and travelled overseas with his music in the past few years, constantly attracting the attention of those he has come into contact with. Tim's songs have increasingly been captured/recorded by himself in his own makeshift studio, inscribing a certain distinct intimacy to his music. His sound, in this respect, has very much become his own. Despite his success, Tim's talents have, for the most part, remained a well-kept secret until now. He has just emerged from the studio with his first full-length album. Recorded with the help of Arts Victoria and released by Popboomerang records, Any Given Day features the eclectic talents of Ross Calia, Susie Ahern, Marcus Goodwin and Matty Vehl (Ice Cream Hands), Marty Brown (Art of Fighting) and saxophonist Tim Wilson. Brimming with real human emotion, it explores themes of love, loss and most things in between, weaving familiar sketches, soothing philosophies and fresh ideas into delicate yet potent songs. The result is an album which is both reassuringly catchy and ultimately memorable.
