About
I’m Tim McDonald, a straightforward rock-and-roll artist with 40+ years of live performance and studio work. I play electric and acoustic guitar, sing lead and backing vocals, and write songs with a focus on tight, harmony-driven guitar lines and classic rock energy.
Recently I launched a solo project under Repeat Offender Records, LLC, and released the EP First Light in 2024. Over decades I’ve performed with multiple bands, including Black Pearl, with whom I released the 2007 album Today is Yesterday’s Tomorrow. I bring hands-on production, arrangement, and release planning experience to every project.
