Meet The Time Jumpers
What happens when some of Nashville’s most stellar musicians and vocalists get together on stage and perform whatever it is they are in the mood for? Show up at 3rd and Lindsley on any given Monday night and you’ll find out! The Time Jumpers’ music is spontaneous and in-the-moment. No two shows are the same, and no audience member leaves without being treated to a weekly event that’s like nothing else in America.
This ten-piece, Grammy Award-winning ensemble continues Nashville’s tradition of world class musicians gathering to entertain and challenge themselves when the day-to-day work of commercial recording is done.
Watching these extraordinary performers “at work” is an invigorating experience. Their camaraderie and musicianship is high-caliber and explains why they are the band to see whenever one is in Nashville. And that goes for celebrities as well. You never know who might jump up on stage when The Time Jumpers are holding court. There’s a lengthy list of special guests who have hung out or sat in, including Elvis Costello, Robert Plant, Reba McEntire, Joe Walsh, Bonnie Raitt, Jimmy Buffet, Delbert McClinton, Sheryl Crow and Norah Jones.
The Time Jumpers individually have participated in countless hit records, award-winning productions, and international tours with artists such as Diana Krall, Elvis Costello, Mel Tillis, Mark Knopfler, Julio Iglesias, Robert Plant, Barbra Streisand, Alan Jackson, the Eagles, the Chieftains and dozens of other iconic performers.
The twin fiddle section is comprised of National Fiddler Hall of Famer Joe Spivey and Grand Master Fiddle Champion Justin Branum. The vital pedal steel guitar seat is held by Eddy Dunlap, an in-demand session musician and substitute steel guitarist in the Grand Ole Opry house band. Lead guitar is handled by the versatile Andy Reiss, while Chris Walters wows the audience playing the piano and a solid, driving rhythm section comprised of Brad Albin on bass, Billy Thomas on drums, and “Ranger Doug” Green, co-founder of Riders In The Sky, on classic big-band rhythm guitar lays a swinging foundation. And lastly, our Queen, the thrilling soulful singer who recently made quite a splash on NBC’s The Voice, Wendy Moten.
