Show Volume XV Issue XX The Ogden Valley news Page October 1, 2008 Local Tim Daniels Featured on New CD Compilation—Offers classes in Ogden Valley By Karen Bastow After Joe Bird, a project manager with Quickstar Productions happened upon a recording of an original song by Tim Daniels, he immediately contacted Daniels for permission to include his song, “It,” on a new compilation CD. The CD, Tim Daniels just recently released, is titled “Chill Out: An Acoustic Compilation” and spotlights and promotes acoustical artists from all over the country in order to share their talent with the rest of the world. With his song, Daniels weaves a soothing sound that speaks to the heart as the listener is drawn in from the first winsome words until the last note fades away. Not only does Daniels write the music, but performs both the vocals and the guitar accompaniment. Chill Out was professionally produced and glass mastered, and will be sold through the artists on the CD as well as distributed digitally in more than 300 mp3 retailers worldwide. This includes all the big stores such as iTunes, Napster, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Vcast, etc. Daniels is currently teaching guitar and song-writing lessons in the Valley, as well as creating opportunities for developing writers to perform their songs. He is at work creating a full album that will feature more of Daniel’s unique and inviting music. Daniels performs alone as well as with other Valley musicians. Locals often enjoy hearing Tim perform at Valley businesses Harley and Bucks, Mountain Luxury, and the Rendezvous Lodge, and he would like to thank them for their support and the opportunity to perform.
