There are musicians, and then there are storytellers with strings. Enters Tim is a guitarist whose very presence commands attention, whose tone tells tales deeper than words ever could. With 45 years of musical mastery behind him, Tim isn’t just playing the guitar- he’s preaching through it. And his latest project, the single "Trouble Don’t Last Always", is a sermon the world needs to hear.
 

Born and bred in Chicago, Tim carries the soul of the city in his sound. There’s something in the way he bends a note soaked in gospel and rooted in jazz that reminds you of the grit of the South Side and the glory of a Sunday morning revival. You don’t just listen to Tim. You feel him. The Soul-Stirring and Spirit-Lifting Trouble Don’t Last Always isn’t just a title. It’s the truth. It’s a declaration. And Tim delivers it with every ounce of life he’s lived, every heartbreak he’s healed from, and every victory he’s earned. From the first chord to the final fade-out, this single is drenched in experience. It’s smooth, it’s rich, it’s layered like good bourbon and better wisdom.
 

You can hear the years in his fingers. But make no mistake: this isn’t an old man trying to hang on. This is a seasoned virtuoso who’s mastered his lane and is now owning the road. There’s fire in his phrasing, finesse in his fretwork, and a whole lot of Black excellence in the way he plays his guitar he testifies.
 

Why Now? Because He’s Ready. There’s a hunger in Tim’s playing. Not for fame. Not for approval. But for impact. He’s telling stories that matter. He’s healing through harmony. He’s making it plain that, yes, trouble might come but baby, it sure doesn’t last always.
 

This is grown-man jazz. It’s truth music. And Timothy A Treadwell is a name you better remember. So go ahead, press play. Then press repeat. Share it.
 

Talk about it. Add it to your playlist, your production, your life soundtrack.
