Tim Easton Brings Americana Magic to Jersey Shore Arts Center This December

Singer-songwriter Tim Easton is set to captivate audiences at the Jersey Shore Arts Center in Ocean Grove on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at 8:00 p.m., as part of his ongoing world tour supporting his latest album, Find Your Way. Opening the night will be fellow musician Quincy Mumford, promising an evening of immersive storytelling and richly textured Americana music.

Tim Easton has long been celebrated for his unique blend of folk, blues, and rock & roll—a musical style often described as Americana. His songs carry the weight of confessional storytelling, painting vivid portraits of ordinary lives and the landscapes he has traversed. Critics and fans alike praise his “workingman’s folk” style, marked by deeply personal lyrics, melodic intricacy, and an authenticity that reflects decades of experience on the road.

Born in upstate New York and raised in diverse locales including Tokyo, Japan, and Akron, Ohio, Easton’s formative years set the stage for a career defined by curiosity and wanderlust. He spent seven years traveling across Europe, busking in cities like Paris, London, Dublin, Prague, and Madrid, before returning to the United States to pursue his professional music career. This early exposure to international audiences shaped the breadth of his sound and his approach to storytelling through song.

Easton’s career highlights include signing with EMI Publishing in 1999 and New West Records shortly after. His 2001 album, The Truth About Us, featured three-fourths of the acclaimed band Wilco as his backing ensemble. Over the years, he has toured extensively alongside musical mentors such as Lucinda Williams and John Hiatt, further refining his signature sound. With over a dozen solo studio albums to his name, including 2024’s Find Your Way, Easton continues to demonstrate both prolific output and artistic evolution. Beyond music, he is a published poet, essayist, and songwriting teacher, providing insight and guidance to aspiring musicians around the world.

Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Easton maintains a robust online presence and engages directly with fans through platforms like Patreon, where he releases a new song each month. His Ocean Grove performance offers New Jersey audiences an intimate chance to experience his signature blend of Americana storytelling live, connecting lyrics, guitar, and life experience in ways that resonate long after the final note.
