Tim Vitullo

Tim Vitullo is a bit different.

Tim is a Pittsburgh-based singer, guitarist, and songwriter that has spent the better part of a decade touring with his group, the Tim Vitullo Band (TVB). The Americana and Jam Band inspired quartet cut its teeth playing several hundred shows across more than a dozen different states. Tim released his sophomore LP, Running out of Time, in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. Now, TVB is excited to be back on stage performing selections from this latest effort.

Running out of Time showcases Vitullo’s growth as a songwriter and performer. His Americana influences and experiences touring with the Tim Vitullo Band are on full display throughout the tracks. Songs like “Monongahela Valley,” “Daily Bread,” and “Running out of Time” all feature soaring, catchy choruses nestled within tight, efficient arrangements. These key ingredients are packaged alongside Vitullo’s signature guitar pyrotechnics, Brent McConnell’s powerful drumming, and the band’s three-part vocal harmonies. Running out of Time was produced by Tim & David Fix and engineered & mixed by Mike Smales at Applekid Studios.

Running out of Time follows up on the success of 2015’s Josephine & Assorted Train Songs, Vitullo’s debut LP. That album serves as a portrait of “contemporary blues” music that borrows as much from Vitullo’s jazz, jam band, & country influences as it does the American blues tradition. Josephine & Assorted Train Songs was produced, engineered, & mixed by Steven Foxbury.

Prior to this, Vitullo established himself as an exciting, young jazz composer & improviser in State College, PA with the release of This is the Thing! in 2012. That EP, which doubles as Tim’s undergraduate thesis, explores bebop, Brazilian bossa nova, modal jazz, & fusion genres through a handful of Tim’s original compositions. The album was produced by Dr. Stephen Hopkins, who is also featured on piano.

Currently, Tim is performing regularly with the TVB in the Northeast, Midwest, & Atlantic Coast regions of the United States. He proudly endorses The Rock Slide guitar slides, NFStraps guitar straps, and Rattlesnake Cable Company and is happy to already be preparing material for a follow-up album to be recorded in 2022.
