simply gorgeous local :: indie music

Wowing the crowds at this Saturday's BrisStyle indie Market at Brisbane City Hall will be the soulful Tim Sladden. 

Tim Sladden seamlessly fuses acoustic, jazz and soul into what can only be described as a style of his own, and raises the bar for anyone flying under the banner of "singer songwriter".

He sings like and angel and plays guitar like he sold his soul to the devil…..wow
- M. Jack. B, renowned singer songwriter. 

 This guy has a voice you could put in a honey jar - you have to check him out!
-Nalesh Singh, Byron Bay FM.

Listen to Tim here and come along and see him in the Sandgate Room adjacent to the Shingle Inn this Saturday.
