Tim Easton has been singing and writing songs since he was 14 years old. He never considered another career. After finishing college, Easton hit the road with his guitar and spent seven years singing and playing on European street corners. When he got back to Ohio, Easton joined the Haynes Boys, a roots-rock outfit that made one album before breaking up. Free again, Easton picked up his guitar and returned to the road, touching down long enough to make nine albums that earned him a loyal following with their blend of gritty roots-rock and heartfelt songwriting. Every LP took a slightly different approach and his latest, Not Cool, shows off his love of rockabilly and early R&B. Easton will be quest editing magnetmagazine.com all week.

Easton: Another old hat in the foodie world by now and many a traveling musician will tell you their favorite places. My first and therefore my favorite was a joint in Cleveland that is no longer there. I’ll forever be trying to beat that particular Cambodian’s broth. In St. Louis, I love Pho Grand, and in Seattle it’s usually Pho Bac for me. Just a simple pleasure from the road that makes the traveling life easier.
