Tim Dabbs is a musical storyteller who will take you on a journey across our great country, through our history and through your own emotions. You’ll feel as if you know some of the folks who are the characters in his songs; the grandmother who introduced him to an old player piano in Worn Ivory Keys, or perhaps the displaced steelworkers in Cambria Bells .  Chesapeake Bay waterman, the barnstorming pilots of the early airmail service and railroadmen—the people, places and history of America.
