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. Read our new feature on him.
Easton: This film, staring British actors Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, is to the travel film genre what Sideways was to wine films. Two dudes get in a car together, who are supposed to be good friends, but one has a hidden agenda or is about to learn something important about himself. I could not believe how much this film made me either lose it with laughter or sit there with my jaw hanging open because it I was stunned by the brilliant, realist comedy.
