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: There’s a chicken joint on the island of Manhattan called Dirty Bird To Go. The first one opened on 14th street in Chelsea, and the newest addition is their Chambers Street location in SoHo. Hey, it’s New York City, just use your phone and get there for lunch when you are hungry for organic, buttermilk-brined chicken from the roaster or fried proper. Their chicken fingers are the best you’ll ever have. Get a Dirty Palmer to wash it down and take a long walk through the streets of New York.
