| BIOGRAPHY |
Timothy R. Smith (a.k.a. TR Smith) is known for his creative and versatile musical styles, as both a sacred music composer and performer. His music combines both traditional and contemporary musical idioms that are easily accessible to both listeners and worshiping assemblies.
Smith has performed extensively with his band TR Smith & The Sacred Music Boys, combining rock, blues, pop, and classical idioms. This work has culminated in the 2006 release of his fourth CD with OCP Publications, Persuaded, a riveting, heart felt song cycle that springs out of both his musical and faith experience. Persuaded is a story about our common journey of commitment to God; from fear to faith, from doubt to trust, from pride to surrender... The story resonates with what we share in burdens and our blessings.
He has traveled throughout the country addressing parishes about their essential role as ministers of music. Some of Tim's well know liturgical compositions in the OCP catalog include: Voice Of Christ, Angels Come In Celebration, O Mother Of Jesus and In Every Age.
Smith has a Bachelor of Music degree from Michigan State University and Master of Music degree from Oakland University in Rochester Hills, Michigan, where he received the Distinguished Musicianship Award. He and his wife, Kim, live in Waterford, Michigan, with their three children.
