Time Thief is a three member studio band that draws from influences of the 70's and 80's including bands like Kansas, Styx, and Level 42. The three members of the band originally played together in a band during and after their high school years in the 80's. They all hail from a small town in the New York Finger Lakes region called Hammondsport. The trio used to pass time during free time at school writing lyrics for various song ideas. Now more than 2 decades later, the three members have reunited with more life experience and honed musical skills to produce what they hope will be the first of many collaborative projects musically. Their sound is a unique blend of soaring harmonies, heavy edged rock and carefully crafted lyrics meant to inspire and tell a story. The edges are smoothed by an orchestral accompaniment that brings an intensity and excitement to the musical pieces. At the core of each member is a passionate appreciation for music of all genres from classical to progressive rock. Their music has an atmospherically immersing quality that takes the listener on a musical journey through time. The members have come back together with very different backgrounds- Adam Oplinger - Bass Guitars, Electric Guitars: a Registered Nurse and trained Paramedic, Adam has dedicated himself to the emergency medical field but has never given up playing his unique and creative bass lines. Adam has always prefered to create bass lines that are essential to the overall groove of the music and credits Level 42, Paul McCartney and Geddy Lee of Rush as influences. Josh Smith - Drums, Percussion, Keyboards, Vocals: Josh is a computer programmer and IT professional and loves the creativity of designing applications to solve problems. Josh loves playing the piano and singing and credits Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh, Freddie Mercury, and Dennis DeYoung as his greatest influences. Terry Smith - Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Vocals: Terry is a graphic designer and is energized by all things creative. He enjoys writing both rhythm guitar parts and lead guitars that draw on influences from Neil Schon, Brian May, Rich Williams and Kerry Livgren. http://www.timethiefband.com Read more on Last.fm.
