Jenn Franklin is an independent singer/songwriter out of Nashville who also happens to be a college buddy of mine. Jenn is working on a new music video for her song "Ready As I Am", and you can be in it!  She says the song is about "taking chances now and forgetting about waiting until all those pesky ducks are in a row.  It's about the perfectly amazing things we can do as

Once upon a time I co-wrote and played lead guitar for a speed/thrash/death metal band called D'Ranged.  Here's a link to our full-length CD "Chaotic Vision", recorded in 1995. D'Ranged - Chaotic Vision

There are a few perks to living in parts of the country Alex Skolnick makes fun of on Twitter.  To folks in NYC, the reactions Wichita gets from residents probably range from "Where?" to the stereotypical Wizard of Oz joke.  But those same New Yorkers who would have to fight tooth and nail to work their way to the front of the stage don't realize how incredibly easy it is to do so here

Okay, so after having to re-upload the theme for my blog I think I've finally gotten the major part of the coding all fixed.  Let me know if you find anything screwy, K? There are still some little things I need to fix, like adding the donation button again.  We'll get there, by and by.  Rock on. TB

So I have a home studio and a Native American flute.  Thought I'd put the two together and see what I could do.  Click above on the title of this post to hear the result.  Think I should do an entire album? Mostly kidding.  Mostly.

FRIDAY AM, MAY 27 - What the heck is going on?! If you've been to this blog before you may be confused to find the landscape has changed dramatically.  I got a wild hair up me bum and have decided to upgrade the site. I think everything is back in order and you should be able to find things in their proper place.  If you have any trouble, please contact me.

I like free stuff. You like free stuff. How would you like some free music? I recently decided not to set a price for downloads of my upcoming release "I AM". Instead, "I AM" going to accept free will donations. I don't want there to be money between you and my song. While I like getting paid to make music, I don't make music to get paid. I make music to express myself. Look at the

Words and music by Tim Bravo It's about live and let live. It's about bringing out your dead inside. About try to find another way Cause this one is tired And we're not just fine. You're bleeding out And I'm sore. (I need you to see) We can't do this anymore. Don't you think it's about time To find some place to heal? Make some space and just breathe a while And try to decide where we go from

So my Blackberry died last Friday night during our set at the Lizard Lounge. Seriously, it worked when I put it on the amp. After the set, not so much. Since a replacement Blackberry cost the same as a brand new Android...You can guess which way I went! Now I have an app for posting to Blogger and can shoot 720p video and upload it directly to YouTube. Oh and did i mention it has speak to

It's been a few months since I've played out with my guys in TAINTED. It would seem the stars have aligned for an impromptu performance in Wichita this coming Friday night. We'll be playing with our brothers (and sister) in BarrelBright, with whom we've had quite an ongoing history.  When James Dean was first getting the band off the ground, he and I would meet weekly to write songs which

Here's a sneak peek at my debut track "I Am".  I've spliced together the first 15 seconds, another section from the middle of the song, and another 15 seconds from the end. Bear in mind the single guitar is a scratch track and the drums are barely edited - not mixed!  This is rough as rough gets, kids - but I thought I'd post it for those of you who keep asking me where "I Am" on this

Tuesday night I did something I've never done. I recorded drums for a rock song. All sorts of euphemisms come to mind here: uncharted territory, unfamiliar waters, marching to the beat of...wait, not that one. It was definitely a novel experience in the true meaning of the phrase. I've played drums, sure - but I've never played an entire song through. I've never played drums knowing I was being

I hate T-95, a.k.a. KICT 95.1FM out of Wichita, KS. This is nothing new. I have consistently loathed the station since their main local competition Fly 92.7 went off the air almost 4 years ago.  They weren't my favorite station before then, but with zero competition to force them to play current rock artists' songs - well, they pretty much just stopped. I am not exaggerating when I

I'm pretty darn pleased about the return of FLY92 here in Wichita. To be fair, it still totally sucks that they're not on the airwaves, but my car's antenna isn't hooked up to my receiver anyway so whatev! The fact I can listen to it online, and at terrific sound quality for an internet radio station, is all I need. Once I have new tunage recorded I totally plan to ply the station for airplay.

Not that anyone but A-Ron is following this blog (yet), but I wanted to let you ALL know that I'm less than a week away from going into the studio to start tracking "I Am", my debut song as a solo artist. Every last part will be played by me. Obviously not simultaneously. After I get it recorded, mixed and posted I'll start working on more tracks. My intention is to bring in local musician

Then, he proceeded to punch me in the face for a full 30 seconds.I'm referring, of course, to the Target commercial for Pearl Jam's new album. Not only is the anti-corporate progenitor of grunge doing commercials, they're selling their album exclusively at a single retailer.W. T. F.Now don't get me wrong, I'm
