Tim ‘TK’ Karlyle: Guitar, Harmonica & Vocals
Tim hails from Southern California and started playing guitar at the age of 12. Influenced by songs like “Wipe Out” and “Oh Pretty Woman.” Tim was originally hoping to play the drums, but his parents settled that decision because drum kits in the 60s were much more expensive than guitars. So guitar it was! Tim also plays bass, harmonica, sings lead and backup vocals.
Since moving to Lake County, Tim has been honored to perform as a member of Singer/Keyboardist Andy Rossoff’s band “Lefty” and in Singer/Blues Harp player, Patrick Gleason’s band “62 Blues”. But in 2012, Tim’s musical career would take a dramatic turn. He met Jerry Shepherd and became a member of the Beatz Werkin band.
“The best mentor a person could have. In the last 10 years I’ve learned more about being a musician from Jerry than I had my entire career.” – Tim
Performing with Beatz Werkin has been a major musical highlight of his career.
