Based near Eureka Springs Arkansas, Tim Hillwood is a solo guitarist who is mostly known for original and unique guitar instrumentals. The fingerstyle pieces range from melodic folk, to jazz to new age and other genres that sometimes defy a label. These compositions generally come from an intention to uplift and inspire. Tim's guitar playing draws on many influences and fills a room with a wide range of his instrument.

"Tim played for our gallery opening. He had a well crafted set of unique songs that exemplified his stellar musicianship and guitar playing skills. He provided the perfect ambiance for our event. We LOVE Tim and cannot wait to have him back at our gallery for a house concert."
~Lori, owner at F Street Gallery
This Venture Out album was recorded as a personal triumph as I went through the year long process of healing after breaking my left hand over 2 decades ago.
It's also a musical reminder that I hope inspires others to overcome challenges or create a compelling path.
There is power in making a CHOICE outside of what looks to be the predictable future.
