Tim Gorman's remarkable career began in the Pacific Northwest as a session musician at Recording Associates in Portland and Kaye-Smith Studios in Seattle. At Kaye-Smith he worked with producer/engineers Jim Gaines, Buzz Richmond and the legendary R&B producer songwriter Thom Bell. While there, Tim recorded sessions on The Spinners "8" for Atlantic Records, and accompanied Elton John on "The Thom Bell Sessions" for MCA Records. Tim also collaborated with songwriter Bill Lamb, who introduced Tim to iconic British producer Glyn Johns.
Tim was awarded a recording contract in 1979 with A&M Records through Glyn Johns and his partner, entertainment attorney Eric Kronfeld. Dubbing themselves "Lazy Racer," he and a select group of musicians released the self-titled album "Lazy Racer" and the 1980 follow up "Lazy Racer- Formula 2." The albums were well received by music critics in both the U.K. and the U.S. This break catapulted Tim's career into the heart of the rock music industry where he would go on to make significant contributions in both recording and live performance.
While working for Glyn Johns' production company "Turn Up Down Music," Tim worked with legendary artists The Rolling Stones, The Who, Elton John, John Entwistle, Dusty Springfield, as well as Local Boys, Tim Renwick, Diane Tell, and producer David MacKay.
In 1978 Tim performed piano, synthesizer, and Hammond B3 organ on the Rolling Stones tracks "Emotional Rescue" and "Tattoo You."
In 1982 Tim recorded keyboards on The Who's 10th studio album "It's Hard". At Pete Townshend's home studio, Tim recorded electric piano to accompany Pete's synthesizer for the now-legendary introduction to "Eminence Front" that has been used as background music in countless advertisements and soundtracks. Tim played piano and synthesizer on the accompanying tour "The Who Across America" and is featured on the live album "Who's Last" that was recorded during that tour. It was at the Shea Stadium show in 1982 that Tim was awarded his first two RIAA certified gold records.
In 1986 Tim collaborated with renowned Who bassist John Entwistle to record "The Rock" and toured with the album throughout 1988-89. Tim reunited with The Who in 2006 to record overdubs on the rerelease of the 1982 show "Live From Toronto".
Tim worked with Paul Kantner and the KBC Band in 1985-1987, and played keyboards for the Jefferson Airplane reunion tour in 1989. He also performed in Kantner's band Wooden Ships in 1991-1992, and the reunited Jefferson Starship until 1995.
Since 1995, Tim has used his extensive background in not only session work and live performance, but in composition and production to accommodate the needs of his individual clients.
