Greater Boston Live Music Community Guide

WELCOME!

Welcome! I'm siked you found my little piece of the internet and honored to have you as part of our Greater Boston music community.

Back in 2014, I started this website plus monthly newsletter after being in a bar listening to some awesome local music. But instead of their music, other customers were complaining that they'd rather listen to the hockey game played on the bar tv?!?!

I was, well quite frankly pissed, and shouted out “Boston Loves Music!”. Inspiration hit and the rest is history…

What you will find here..

Currently, this website is about music around the Greater Boston area from my perspective. Songwriting. Playing music. Making albums. Things I find musically interesting.

And honestly, partly to create buzz for my gigs and open mics. But I didn’t want to raise up just myself on this website. I wanted to build a community and lift up other inspiring musicians in the area.

Yeah…I'm a dreamer. A big dreamer….

Here's what I'm thinking. Ultimately, I want to create a supportive community of performers, songwriters, bands, services, and nightlife on this site. Become a hub for musicians - with resources to local resources and events - and help advance local music.

But for now, it's just me (and my random assistant). This isn't a one-stop shop for all Boston music related items or genres of music styles groups etc.. BUT we are dreaming it and slowly building it!! If we build it, they will come, right???

If you have ideas to help this achieve this big dream, please email us!

Thank you for visiting!

WHO IS TIMKO?

Wait, who’s Tim? aka Timko? (short for Tim Konchanski)

Good question.... (and some days I ask myself the same question - who am I??? 😂)

I've been writing music and playing music either solo or with bands since age 13. Since 2011, I've served as a local open mic host and event music planner.

When not knee-deep in music, I do aspire to cook the perfect shirred eggs.... Any tips?
