TYMINSKI’S SOUTHERN GOTHIC FEATURED ON NPR’S FIRST LISTEN

Southern Gothic Releases on October 20

Tyminski’s (Dan Tyminski) October 20 release of Southern Gothic is currently featured on NPR‘s First Listen. The preview showcases all 13 tracks which NPR describes as a “broody, imagery-driven portraiture of hidden desire, religious guilt and unsteady conscience.” The 14-time Grammy winner co-wroteSouthern 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”) andSouthern Gothic producer Jesse Frasure (“Dirt On My Boots”).

Tyminski, a Rutland, Vermont native, is one of the premier vocalists in modern acoustic music and according to NPR is “best known for the rawboned, mountain soulfulness of his vocals.” 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. A 25-year member of Alison Krauss’ Union Station, he 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.

In 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.
