Elise Witt was born in Switzerland, raised in North Carolina, and since 1977 has made her home in Atlanta. She speaks fluent Italian, French, German, Spanish, and English and sings in over a dozen languages. Her passion for music and languages has led her to take her Global, Local & Homemade Songs™ across the United States and around the globe.

Among her ancestors, Elise claims “Wedding March” composer Felix Mendelssohn and his grandfather, Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn; Protestant cow farmers from northern Germany; Russian chemists; Polish intellectuals; French Bordeaux wine growers; a British painter; and a great great aunt from Cuba.

Good songwriting matters to all of us whether we know it or not. It tells the truth in a way that keeps us all moving towards something better. When songs become laundry lists and trend chasers, they become nothing and so do we.

Tim Chandler is a songwriter dedicated to telling that kind of truth in song in an out of the box way. Combining his influences of bluegrass, country, and folk, his music is drawn from life in work, family, and frustrations with songs that don’t say anything.

Growing up a preacher’s son in Western Kentucky, Tim’s first exposure to music came through the traditional hymns that made up every service. Now, his influences range all over the board, drawn from the places and people he has worked with, roamed with, and written with. From West Coast cover bands to Rocky Mountain forestry crews, swampy Florida factory floors to construction sites in Alabama. Now, he wants to share those stories with you.

Tim currently shares his music on a regular basis and has played everywhere from Florida to California to New Jersey – with multiple features on local radio shows and music festivals – including the award winning “Blue Plate Special” on WDVX. He has a whole catalog of songs to his name and now his self-titled record is available to purchase or stream. You can keep up with him and his bandmates on Facebook, Instagram or wherever you stream music.
