Catch Of The Week: Tim Buono
Meet Tim Buono from Upton, MA
Now hear this!
Armed with a knack for telling a story, a guitar, and an easy- going likeability, it’s no wonder Tim Buono has been popping up more and more on stages around New England. This singer/songwriter was inspired to perform after seeing Brad Paisley in concert, and the influence is obvious. Like Brad, Tim charms while relaying his message, and always seems at ease, and ready to please.
Tim Buono takes you places with his songs. He has a way of making you feel like you are with him on his personal journey, and that is a real gift.
