Timothy Zieger – "A singer-songwriter of uncommon depth."

“Timothy Zieger is a singer-songwriter of uncommon depth. His lyrics can touch of weighty subjects with great sensitivity, and also address more the mundane with a poetic eye. Blessed with a warm tenor voice and a gift for melody, Zieger often brings distinctive arrangement ideas into his songs, while keeping in an acoustic context. He is the epitome of the articulate folkie, whose music extends beyond the conventions of the genre, and whose songs have staying power.” –George Graham – Senior Producer and Host, WVIA Public Radio

“North Light is a quintessential winter album: lean, lonesome, and full of longing. Each of these songs speaks with deliberate and measured depth. North Light is for listeners who listen. It’s for parents, children, young, old, and anyone who’s looked up at the moon and wondered where the years have gone.” – Seth D. Mitchell, Composer, Songwriter

“Tim’s style of playing music added such a great vibe to my music that I decided to put the song we recorded together as the 1st on my newest album. I wanted listeners to hear Tim’s guitar and vocals as the 1st thing that greets them when playing my new CD.” Van Wagner, Educator, Songwriter

“One of my favorite projects I’ve ever worked on is “North Light” by Timothy Zieger. I mixed & mastered this album, while all of the tracking was done by Tim himself at home. After hearing the raw emotion Tim was able to capture I knew my job was to disturb the tracks as little as possible. Yes, there were a few technical imperfections occasionally, but on a record with this much passion I felt that they lent to the story & helped the listener feel more connected to the music.

Tim’s vocal delivery throughout this record is something I use as a reference to this day when producing singers. The word that comes to mind for me is intentional. You can tell that every syllable, every breath, every plosive was carefully thought out & placed where he had intended it. Tim is a truly gifted songwriter & performer, as is his wife Abigail Zieger.

On the track “Frozen Lake / This Old World”, through the slow build, Tim demonstrates his arrangement & multi-instrument capabilities throughout. The epic build at the end of Frozen Lake is followed by the beautiful, melodic This Old World that is reminiscent of later Sparklehorse records.

It has been described as a better Bon Iver by more than one. Please take a listen & enjoy the experience he has crafted. I still get chills every time.” – Clyde Rosencrance, Recording Engineer, Producer, Republic Audio Studio

“…Timothy Zieger is an excellent local songwriter that put out a great album a couple years ago called “North Light”. In my opinion his music should be enjoyed by a wider audience than I suspect he gets. It sits well alongside any of the top indie folk musicians today. Take a listen and go stream the album a couple thousand times for him.” Evan Hughes, Artist
