Tim Hockenberry talks TSO, "Believe", new solo album in new interview

[TSOd]

As his new solo album is about to be released, I recently caught up with singer/songwriter Tim Hockenberry for an in-depth sit-down interview. Tim sang lead on four TSO songs, though fans most identify him as the voice of the TSO remake of "Believe".  Tim was a featured vocalist with TSO East for four tours, from 2008-2010.

Some of the subjects we covered:

- His musical background, including his trombone and jazz study
- Coming aboard TSO without auditioning
- The surprise guest vocalist on Sparks!
- His separation from TSO
- The story behind his run on America's Got Talent
- Writing and recording his new solo release

Interesting. Very surprised at how AGT owns those people. Like so many others who played or sang with TSO Tim doesn't need them. Paul will always find someone. Says he wasn't bitter but he sure sounds it. Kind of forgot Tim recorded Dream Child and is on that obscure Kohl's 2013 exclusive release that is not even considered a part of the TSO catalog as well as a few others like that. Dream Child is one of my favorite songs. Even though Tim does not like Someday I LOVE   it and prefer it WAY MORE   than Kayla's rendering. Can't understand why Paul does all these re-recordings. Maybe that is why official albums are so far between, studio time is taken up re-recording songs, 140 takes! 2 weeks! Tim also sang the national anthem at a football game.
