  • TYMINSKI MADE HIS SOLO TELEVISION DEBUT ON THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT.

  • TYMINSKI PERFORMING “SOUTHERN GOTHIC” ON CBS’ THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT OCTOBER 23rd; RELEASES NEW MUSIC VIDEO.

    Tyminski (Dan Tyminski) makes his solo late-night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on October 23rd performing the title track to his album Southern Gothic which was released today. Featured on NPR’s First Listen and All Things Considered, the 13-track album is described as “broody, imagery-driven portraiture of hidden desire, religious guilt and unsteady conscience.” Also, today Entertainment Weekly is premiering the Wes Edwards (Tim McGraw, Brothers Osborne) directed music video for “Southern Gothic”.

    Tyminski, a Rutland, Vermont native, is a 14-time Grammy Award-winner and one of the premier vocalists in modern acoustic music. He co-wrote Southern Gothic with top songwriters including Sarah Buxton (“Stupid Boy”), Josh Kear (“Need You Now”), Cary Barlowe (“American Honey”), Andrew Dorff (“Neon Light”), Amy Wadge (“Thinking Out Loud”) and Southern Gothic producer Jesse Frasure (“Dirt On My Boots”).

    As a child, Tyminski was drawn to Southern singers including Jimmy Martin, Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice and found himself not only mimicking their southern singing voices but also teaching himself how to play banjo by ear. A 25-year member of Alison Krauss’ Union Station, Tyminski is also the singing voice of George Clooney’s character in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? for which he won two Grammy Awards including Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for the single “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow” and Album of the Year for the soundtrack which sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

    2014 after lending his vocals to Avicii’s international pop hit “Hey Brother,” which went #1 in at least 18 countries and has global streams of over 1.1 billion and downloads of 5.3 million, Tyminski began to realize that he could fit outside of his acoustic music box. With Southern Gothic, Tyminski has crafted an American quilt of music that is a melding of genres and in which the symbolism of light and dark seem to always be at odds.

    Southern Gothic Album Track List:

    1. Southern Gothic (Dan Tyminski, Jesse Frasure, Josh Kear)
    2. Breathing Fire (Dan Tyminski, Cary Barlowe, Will Weatherly)
    3. Gone (Dan Tyminski, Kyle Fishman, Nick Bailey)
    4. Temporary Love (Dan Tyminski, Cary Barlowe, Jesse Frasure)
    5. Perfect Poison (Dan Tyminski, Jesse Frasure)
    6. Devil Is Downtown (Dan Tyminski, Ashley Monroe, Paul Moak)
    7. Hollow Hallelujah (Dan Tyminski, Sarah Buxton, Jesse Frasure, Amy Wadge)
    8. Good For Your Soul (Dan Tyminski, Sarah Buxton, Jesse Frasure)
    9. Wailing Wall (Dan Tyminski, Sarah Buxton, Tofer Brown)
    10. Haunted Heart (Dan Tyminski, Andrew Dorff, Cary Barlowe, Jesse Frasure)
    11. Bloodline (Dan Tyminski, Cary Barlowe, Jesse Frasure)
    12. Wanted (Dan Tyminski, Brad Rempel, Seth Mosley)
    13. Numb (Dan Tyminski, Kyle Fishman, Nick Bailey, Ryan Ogren)
  • TYMINSKI COMPARES THE LIGHT AND DARK ON HIS FORTHCOMING ALBUM, SOUTHERN GOTHIC.

    Tyminski releases his album Southern Gothic, Friday (October 20th). The collection of 13 songs, produced by Jesse Frasure, began when he was writing songs for other artists, but realized he wanted them for himself.

    “I feel like the light and dark in this record is truly my journey, my personal journey just in life,” says Tyminski. “I mean, everyone I think can at least understand the struggle between light and dark. I made a reference a while ago, you always feel that whisper from each side of your shoulder, someone saying yeah do it, no don’t do it. I think it’s just, I don’t know if it’s that I have an enormous struggle with that in my life but it’s something that I’m aware of. I try to make sure that I understand what the right voice is. I try to make sure that I don’t make quick decisions.”

    Dan Tyminski, who has been a member of Alison Krauss and Union Station for 25 years, co-wrote all of the album’s 13 songs with some of Nashville’s best tunesmiths, including Sarah Buxton ( “Stupid Boy”) and Josh Kear (“American Honey”).

    Tyminski (light and dark of album) OC: …absolute. 1:00
    “I feel like the light and dark in this record is truly my journey, my personal journey just in life.  I mean everyone I think can at least understand the struggle between light and dark. I made a reference a while ago, you always feel that whisper from each side of your shoulder, someone saying yeah do it, no don’t do it. I think it’s just, I don’t know if it’s that I have an enormous struggle with that in my life but it’s something that I’m aware of. I try to make sure that I understand what the right voice is. I try to make sure that I don’t make quick decisions. That I – light and dark, in my opinion, sometimes can look very similar. You don’t necessarily know it’s the light hitting you when it’s hitting you, and sometimes the other way around, you don’t know it’s dark hitting you when it’s hitting you. It can feel good but it’s still dark. That comes out in my writing. When I write, I think I write from that perspective that there are underlying truths to everything that are absolute.”

  • TYMINSKI SET TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM, ‘SOUTHERN GOTHIC,’ IN OCTOBER.

    Tyminski (Dan Tyminski) will release Southern Gothic October 20th on Mercury Records Nashville. All 13 tracks on the album were co-written by Tyminski who describes the album as holding up a mirror to society without judgment or opinions. What started out as songwriting for other artists, resulted in the 14-time Grammy winner finding himself jealous to give up the songs he was writing and realizing that he had an opportunity to explore these songs within his own project.

    The Rutland, Vermont native is one of the premier vocalists in modern acoustic music. As a child, he was drawn to Southern singers including Jimmy Martin, Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice and found himself not only mimicking their southern singing voices but also teaching himself how to play banjo by ear.

Working with producer Jesse Frasure (Thomas Rhett, Lauren Alaina) and top songwriters including Sarah Buxton (“Stupid Boy”), Josh Kear (“Need You Now”), Cary Barlowe (“American Honey”), Andrew Dorff (“Neon Light”) and Amy Wadge (“Thinking Out Loud”), Tyminski has crafted an American quilt of music that is a melding of genres and in which the symbolism of light and dark seem to always be at odds.

    “I feel that the light and dark in this record are truly my journey, my personal journey in life,” explains Tyminski. “I think we all feel that whisper from each side of your shoulder, someone saying, ‘yeah do it,’ or ‘no don’t do it.’ I have an enormous struggle with that in my life, but it’s something that I’m aware of.
