Tim Gunther played blues. Nothin but. Originally from Kokomo Indiana, he moved to Atlanta when he was young and his blues education began with his mom who sang with the legendary Piano Red. Tim played with all of the local ATL blues bands and toured the world with such acts as Sean Costello, Big Mike & the Booty Papas, Big Bill Morganfield and The Breeze Kings.

On Sunday October 2, 2005, at approximately 9:30am, the Breeze Kings were involved in an auto accident in Lake City FL. Three of us – Carlos, Jim, and Matt, escaped bruised and broken hearted. Our friend and drummer, Tim Gunther, was not so lucky and passed away at the scene. We hope that thoughts of the great gig we played the night before were in Tim’s dreams as he was sleeping in the van at the time the accident occurred. The rest of us: band members, musicians, fans, and friends, will cherish our memories of Tim.

Tim's album credits include:
South Side Jukes – Cool Place To Go
Roger ‘Hurricane’ Wilson – Business of the Blues
