There is all of the sudden this rush and you realize that your not even playing the music anymore, the music is playing you.

BIOGRAPHY: String Theory started playing together in early 2002. They evolved from jam sessions happening at fire pits and private parties throughout Southwest Michigan. Their mission is to bring the magic and energy of these fire pit jam sessions to your event. To accomplish this they use guest musicians playing a variety of instruments. They also perform songs with loose arrangements and open spaces for jams, often arranging a song while in the middle of a performance. The combination of guest musicians and improvisation keeps their music fresh and gives it an excitement that can't be rehearsed.

Both Tim and John have been performing music locally for over 25 years. John has played bass and toured the Midwest with bands such as Mass Quantities, Dream N 3D, and The Detours. He has also put in a lot of time mixing sound for local bands and operating his home recording studio where he has recorded dozens of local singer songwriters. Tim has taken the stage at the Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts and has played with many of the areas finest acoustic artists.

String Theory is gathering original material for a studio recording.

EQUIPMENT: String Theory is proud of their highly prized vintage instruments. John plays a 1967 Fender Electric Jazz Bass and a 1970 Harmony F-70 Acoustic/Electric Mandolin. Tim plays a 1975 Martin with a built in pickup and microphone system. For sound reinforcement, they utilize quality microphones, a digital mixer and a JBL Eon self-powered speaker system. (Use of a house PA system is acceptable.)
