On this Tim Lefebvre interview, after graduating with degrees in Economics and Poli-Sci, Tim moved to NYC to get his music career going, and boy did he do a great job of it! Great stories about working with David Bowie, Donny McCaslin, Lani Stern, Wayne Krantz, Doyle Bramhall II, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Donald Fagan, Brain Adams, The Departed Soundtrack, Boomish, his incredibly diverse musical playing skills, smoking cigars, cycling, handling death, divorce, getting sober, the roller coaster of the music business, being kind, being more comfortable in your skin, and why Nationwide really is on your side. TONS of laughs and fun, super energetic 🙂
