Tim Scheetz (guitar, vocals)

Born in Quakertown, Pa, Tim grew up listening to all types of music including folk, country, big band, pop, rock and jazz. He was fascinated at an early age with the hymns and other music he heard in church and credits his mother (who sings and plays piano) with getting him started with harmony vocals. Tim started playing guitar at age eight, influenced by Roger Miller, Johnny Cash, Don McClean and other artists of the 1960’s. At the age of twelve, Tim started playing alto saxophone in school and won awards in his high school jazz band competitions. After high school Tim played alto sax in various rythym & blues bands including ‘The Great Saturday Nite Swindle’.  One morning, while driving to work, Tim heard ‘Walking in Jerusalem’ played by Ricky Skaggs and was immediately turned on to acoustic music.  He then re-kindled his love for the guitar and went searching for bluegrass wherever it could be found.  Tim joined ‘Willow Creek’ in 1997 and ‘Richland Station’ in 1999 with Bruce Rupert.  Bruce, by the way, is a second cousin to Tim, growing up with each other in southeastern Pa.  Tim lives in Haycock Township, Pa with his wife Judy and sons Paul, Aaron and Isaac and daughter Katie Anne.
