#126 - Tim Farrel

Author: Len Damico September 24, 2025 Duration: 1:59:32

Tim Farrel has been entertaining fans of all ages with his guitar and melodic vocals since his days at The Ohio State University. Often compared to James Taylor in both his playing and singing style, Tim has logged over 1,200 shows from coast to coast in the past 35 years.


His brand of singer-songwriter music spans over 5 decades from one hit wonders to tunes from mega artists and beyond. Tim has had the honor to share a stage with some of music’s finest acts such as James Taylor, Chicago, Bruce Springsteen and many more - especially the many shoutouts that he so endearingly admires and with whom he has performed in Columbus Ohio.

Columbus Local is a conversation held in the backroom of a familiar bar or a quiet corner of a neighborhood coffee shop, where the focus is on the people who make the city's music scene pulse. Hosted by Len Damico, a musician who has both produced original work and performed live around town for years, this podcast digs into the real stories behind the artists you might see on stage any given night. Each episode leans into first-hand accounts from Columbus-based musicians, unpacking their backgrounds, creative inspirations, and the unexpected adventures that come with a life in music. The discussions are less about formal interviews and more about genuine exchanges, offering a window into the community's heartbeat. While the core of the podcast is built around these local voices, Len occasionally colours outside the lines to bring in a compelling topic or guest that adds a different shade to the overall picture. You'll hear the specifics-the practice space dilemmas, the memorable gigs, the moments of doubt and triumph-that rarely make it into a standard bio. It’s a chance to listen in on the kind of talk that happens after the last chord rings out, all grounded by a host who knows the terrain not just as an observer, but as an active participant in the very world he’s documenting.
