Creative string instruments performance | Tim Snider | TEDxUniversityofNevada

Tim Snider is a musician originally from Reno, NV but now living in Portland, OR. In this creative musical performance he loops the electric violin, guitar, and vocals to create a textured, inspiring experience.

Unbridled energy, intensity, and musical eclecticism! Tim Snider plays and loops the electric violin, guitar, cajon, and vocals creating aural landscapes that are forceful, confessional, and raw. Coming from Reno, Nevada, Tim picked up the violin when he was just three years old. Over the years, exposure to rock music, songwriters, like Ben Harper and Paul Simon, inspired him to play the guitar. His sojourns in Spain and Cuba introduced flamenco, salsa, and Afro-Cuban rhythms into his repertoire. His music can be described as a world-folk-rock hybrid that is aimed at the heart, the brain, and the feet.
