Dan Tyminski’s new CD “Wheels” due out June 17
The Dan Tyminski Band will release their much anticipated CD, “Wheels,” on the Rounder Label June 17.Don’t think for a minute that Dan Tyminski is spending time in the rocking chair these days just because his long-time boss Alison Krauss is crisscrossing the country doing concerts with Robert Plant.
Tyminski, a key player in Krauss’ Union Station, has re-organized his own band , is performing at concerts and festivals and is waiting for the release of his long-awaited second solo album, “Wheels.” The CD will be released by Rounder Records on June 17.
Tyminski and his band will take to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry that evening to promote the CD.
The Dan Tyminski Band, which provides backing on the project, includes Union Station’s Barry Bales on bass and former AKUS mandolin player Adam Steffey, who has been touring and recording with Mountain Heart for the past few years.
Other members of the group are Ron Stewart on fiddle and banjo and Justin Moses on fiddle and Dobro.
Guest artists popping up on the CD are Vince Gill, Cheryl and Sharon White of The Whites and Ron Block, banjo player and guitarist with Krauss’ band.
Tyminski first rose to national prominence on the bluegrass circuit as a member of The Lonesome River Band. He’s been with Union Station since 1994, featured on guitar and mandolin and soulful tenor harmonies.
In 2000, Tyminski stepped further into the spotlight as the singing voice of George Clooney in the Coen Brothers’ movie, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” In addition to being a pivotal element in the plot of the film, his powerful rendition of the Stanley Brothers’ version of “Man of Constant Sorrow” became a surprise hit single, winning the County Music Association’s Single of the Year award, an IBMA award for Song of the Year (the album was also named the Album of the Year), and a Grammy award for Country Collaboration with Vocals.
The album also received the Grammy for Album of the Year – a rare achievement for a soundtrack project.
That year also marked the release of Tyminski’s first solo album, Carry Me Across the Mountain, and some of the first dates performed by the Dan Tyminski Band. He has also toured as part of Vince Gill’s band and with Jerry Douglas. He was invited by Eric Clapton to participate in Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in 2004 and as a part of Union Station in 2007.
A Vermont native,Tyminski now lives near Nashville, Tenn. Tyminski is an avid golfer and has participated in a number of celebrity golf tournaments.
