"Whether he’s playing solo, or with his band... Tim McWilliams displays a dazzling skill on the acoustic guitar, flatpicking traditional tunes and his own material like a modern-day Doc Watson." - Greenville Journal ​​

About Tim
Tim McWilliams is an accomplished flat-picking and finger-style guitarist, embodying the diverse roots music traditions of Western North Carolina.  Upon receiving his M.A. in Appalachian Music: Roots & Influences from Appalachian State University in 2014, Tim launched his professional music career with a three month cross-country tour.  Since then, he has performed full-time as the leader his group, The Tim McWilliams Band, as well as a solo artist. While continuing to grow and evolve as a musician, Tim already has notable achievements which include: receiving an endorsement by Larrivee Guitars, performing more than 800 shows on stages throughout the greater Southeast, and performing at many iconic regional festivals, such as MerleFest, LEAF, Fall for Greenville, and the Downtown Asheville Independence Day Celebration.  In 2019, Tim started a new project with acclaimed old-time musician, William Ritter.  For more information on the Tim McWilliams & William Ritter duo, visit their facebook page and give it a like!  To book Tim, his band, or Tim & William for an event, please use the contact page. 

​In addition to being an accomplished performer, Tim has taught private guitar, banjo, and ukulele lessons in the Asheville area since 2014.  With expertise in a variety of playing styles and an in depth knowledge of music theory, students of all levels and ages can find common ground on which to improve playing techniques.  Tim is currently a faculty member at the Academy for the Arts and is available for lessons.  For more information on lessons, please visit the lesson page and feel free to reach Tim using the contact page.

Music Lessons
Interested in taking guitar, banjo, mandolin, or ukulele​ lessons?  I'm available for private lessons on guitar, banjo, or ukulele in person in the Asheville area, at the Academy for the Arts, or online.  While my expertise lies in bluegrass flatpicking, Travis picking, and delta and country blues fingerpicking, I also love teaching electric blues and rock guitar.  I teach all ages and levels, priding myself on my ability to help adult students get "unstuck" and younger students have fun!  For more information on lessons, please visit the lesson page and feel free to reach Tim using the contact page.
