Tim and James w/ yeemz

Instrumental trad duo Tim and James began two years ago over a Tuesday morning cup of tea, sparked by friends urging that they write music together. Originally hailing from the farmlands of California and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Georgia, Tim and James’ compositions are laden with their nostalgia of rural and agricultural landscapes with flowers in bloom. Playful and emotive their performance feels like a cinematic canvas to paint your own story into. From simple, daily, cozy like working in the garden or cooking a meal for friends to hiking to your favorite mountain swimming hole.

yeemz is a cellist, singer-songwriter, and composer from Santa Monica, California who aims to creatively fuse genres in order to welcome people of all backgrounds into her distinctly intimate and emotive storytelling. She is the founding member of internationally acclaimed classical piano trio, Trio Gaia – the most recent trio-in-residence at New England Conservatory. She has been writing music on the piano from a young age, but only began experimenting with singing and playing her cello like a guitar in 2018.

Since then, Yi-Mei Templeman (under the artist name, yeemz) has quickly established the roots of a uniquely multi-faceted career, performing and producing her own music, recording and arranging strings for other artists, and scoring music for film, all while performing around the world as a classical cellist, and teaching cello students of all ages.

She has music out on all streaming platforms, which have been featured on multiple Spotify editorial playlists. She is currently releasing her debut album.
