Tim O'Brien

Tim O'Brien was born in Wheeling, West Virginia, and grew up listening to country and bluegrass on the radio. In the 1970s, he moved to Colorado and joined the band Hot Rize, which helped establish his career as a singer and multi-instrumentalist.

He then released solo records and collaborated with his sister Mollie O'Brien and other musicians. Fiddler’s Green, from 2005, won a Grammy, and his work continues to cross bluegrass, folk and country song.
