FunkyTim has been a staple in the Central Valley music scene for over a decade. As a core member of the groove rock band Minor Dischord and co-founder of local top 40 juggernauts The 209 All Stars, FunkyTim has established himself as one of busiest performers in the area.

​

In 2017, FunkyTim joined forces with fellow 209 All Stars alumni Rudy Escajeda, Brandon Michael, and James Ayala to form The Merlots, a back to basics combination of feel good covers and originals. The Merlots pull inspiration from 70's R&B, 80's Pop, and 90's Alternative, often times retreating to a laid-back, acoustic atmosphere.
