Tim Bowen

Hi there!

My name is Timothy. I'm a singer/songwriter from the small coastal town of Minnamurra on the south coast of NSW. A little over 6 months ago, I made a decision that I wanted, and needed, to make my debut EP. This was after 2 years of constant writing, re-writing, and countless shows until I found myself holed up on a farm in the Hunter Valley for a week, ejecting thoughts from my head onto paper the best I could (Thanking YOU, Jodie McClintock).



The result was a majority of songs that I could honestly say that I wanted people to hear!

So, I booked the engineers...







... And the musicians...









... And locked away two weeks to record everything to put the wheels in motion! Before I knew it, we were at the finish line! The tracks had been sent to both Kangaroo Valley and Nashville, TN. for mixing and I was headed to the US to finish off the project artwork, mastering and packaging once and for all!

As you could imagine, this lengthy process started incurring costs from the get go. My wonderfully talented (and exceedingly generous) sister, Clare Bowen, put me up in Nashville for a month and has spotted me the funds to get the ball rolling and to keep people fed along the way. She's also contributing to the EP artwork which we're collaborating on as we speak! And after a few weeks of mulling over how I was going to achieve the final product in full, the idea of Pozible came to the table... and this is where you come in..

I decided to pitch my idea to you, dear reader, because I believe a project that is this close to me becomes even more personal when those who support it have a hand in it's creation. Working with music as my main profession has its financial downfalls. And speaking to private investors can sometimes be restricting on the artistic freedom that is so important to the integrity of the project.

The idea of this EP is encompassing everything that's personal to me. 'Home'.. 'Family'.. 'Love'.. 'Time'.. 'Friends'.. 'Childhood'.. All of these concepts are the absolute essence of who I am and what my music represents. The idea of those who are willing to support me and my music actually being invested in my very first official release is the most exciting thing I've ever been able to imagine. For you to give me the opportunity to achieve my goal is something that's so unbelievably special and absolutely priceless.

As it runs, I've already covered the cost of recording. This took place in November of last year at the then partially completed house of my good friends, Mr. Mike Brown and Mrs. Janice Etheredge. There was also an additional live track added during March of this year, and that was recorded in a half-built barn in the Kangaroo Valley, just south of Berry, NSW. Everything was recorded on site by another great friend of mine, Mr. Ben Moore of Harvest Recordings.

All that's left to do now is to confirm the artwork with Clare, then master and package the final product! The costs still to be covered are listed below..

Mixing by both Ben Moore at Harvest Recordings and Christopher Wilkinson at The House of Blues in Nashville, TN. - $1500
Mastering by the very talented Richard Dodd - $1080
1000 Physical CD's from NTS Pro Media, Nashville - $1000
250 Vinyl Records from United Record Pressing, Nashville - $2000

Total: $5580

I promise to push this release as hard as I can to make all of you as proud of this music as I am. So PLEASE, donate to this cause and I will not let you down. If you want to come and say hello, you can find me at:
