CMT Interviews Dan Tyminski
Country Music Television (CMT) writer Craig Shelburne recently did a short but sweet interview with the bluegrass composer, vocalist, and instrumentalist Dan Tyminski about his music career and his new album.
Dan Tyminski is a long-time member of the Alison Krauss and Union Station band, but recently stepped out and formed a new band, The Dan Tyminski Band.
The new band recently released a new album titled Wheels, and they’re currently on a tour performing and promoting this new album. You can find the band’s tour schedules from this page on their official website.
Here’s a snipped from the CMT interview:
Craig Shelburne (CMT): Do you ever secretly rock out to your electric guitar?
Dan Tyminski: You know, I don’t have an electric guitar. I really don’t have any electric anything. I grew up with the bluegrass blinders on. For me, my childhood was mandolin and banjo. I grew up a banjo player, really. That was my passion. I only really started playing guitar when I joined Alison and Union Station. That’s when I got my first guitar. So I was and still am a little intimidated by being in the guitar role because except for maybe the last eight or 10 years, it hasn’t been a comfort zone for me.
