A career as a working musician and is one of those gigs that people look at
and think, “How awesome would that be?” Well, Minneapolis based Tim Mahoney has
been doing it his way for fifteen years now. What began as a side career with huge
aspirations while Mahoney was waiting tables; has now blossomed into a full-fledged
career. And make no mistake, the way that Mahoney hustles, it IS a job, but one he
is very happy to have. To date, he’s sold over 100,000 units of his various releases
between a solo career and his part as a member of The Blue Meenies. But Mahoney’s
gig as a full-time musical artist is not just something he’s doing to serve himself. He
has a rabid fan base, one that supports him religiously. And he also has the raw
talent to win multiple awards year after year. In fact, Mahoney was featured in
Rolling Stone Magazine in 2007 for their 40th anniversary issue when he won a Ray-
Ban promotion. He’s also won or placed high in songwriting contests about fifteen
times over the past decade.
