2008

Tim Lothar was handed this prestigious award at Copenhagen Bluesfestival:
Danish Blues Artist of the Year 2008

Tim Lothar started his musical career as a drummer, for the last 10 years playing all over
Europe with the band ”Lightnin’ Moe”, now put on hold for an indefinite period of time.
A few years ago, after 25 years behind his drum kit, Tim Lothar began cultivating singing and playing
acoustic guitar to explore classic American Delta Blues. With an indisputable talent and great musical insight
Tim 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 raving and enthusiastic reviews at home and abroad, for instance:

* ”A guitar player with Blues in his blood”.
* ”A new European blues act with class”
* ”A CD to classify in your acoustic blues collection next to the big ones, very big ones”

The CD really boosted things, and since then Tim has reaped experience and inspiration from his intense
touring all over Europe On his recent, second issue, ”In It For The Ride”, Tim still explores the Mississippi
Blues, but also contributes with his own strong compositions and deep, personal interpretaions of
the old blues classics.
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”.

Tim Lothar is a versatile, talented, skilled and serious musician, who has come a long way already, but who will
take his career even further in the future.

The award committee’s motivation:
You receive the award for your significant effort for the Delta Blues.
The committee emphasizes your insight in the style, your musicality and versatile instrumental skills.
In a very short time you have excelled as a talented guitarist, singer and songwriter, and as a musician with

the best of luck in your future career.
