Born in Denmark, Tim started his musical career as a drummer. After 25 years behind his drum kit, he began developing his singing and taught himself to play acoustic guitar in order to explore classic American Delta Blues.

With an indisputable talent and great musical insight, Lothar began a whole new career as a solo performer, and very quickly issued his debut-CD, Cut To The Bone, in 2006. The CD received enthusiastic reviews at home and abroad.
His next release, In It For The Ride (2008), won the award for "Best Danish Blues Album" at Danish Music Awards ( the danish Grammy). Later that year he was also handed another major Danish award: "Blues Artist of the Year".

Tim's touring schedule increased, playing festivals and venues all over Europe.
His new cd, Stories is, as with all self-written material, a very personal album, with tales from real life. This album shows a confident, mature songwriter who has found his own style.

On stage, his way of becoming “one with the music” keeps fascinating his growing audience. Not to mention gifted storytelling, an astonishing voice, amazing guitar skills, along with clever songwriting.

Leading British magazine Blues Matters wrote this:
”Tim Lothar’s own songwriting is so good, you have to read the credits to discover whether a song is an original or yet another from Sleepy John Estes or Charley Patton”
