TIM CLEGG
Discovering music at a young age, Tim has played a variety of instruments. Playing trombone in the jazz band, marching band, and symphonic band in high school gave him the opportunity to experience a variety of genres. Once he picked up the guitar, however, he found his true passion.
Inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and the like, he emulated their styles and created his own unique sound and technique. He consistently works to improve his resonance and tone to provide the best musical experience possible.
While living in Atlanta Tim had played with many blues bands in the area, running blues circles from Buckhead to Vining’s to Kirkwood to Virginia Highlands.
After moving to the St. Petersburg area, he landed the lead guitar role in a top performing band his first weekend in town, and it has been non-stop ever since! Tim has performed with local cover bands Bad Kitty, Back to Back, Just Add Water, Phoenix Tampa Bay, Nation, Firefly, and 22N to name just a few.
