Some of the bands he has played and recorded with include The Band of the Ceremonial Guard in Ottawa, Orchestra London, Wellington Winds, The Royal City Saxophone Quartet, the Stratford Symphony Orchestra, KW Big Band Theory, The Windjammers, The Forest City Saxophone Quartet and of course, his own groups TMJAZZ and the Clefs of Moher. As the leader of TMJAZZ he produced three CDs that were largely instrumental. Most recently, the Clefs of Moher recorded two CDs all in collaboration with Rick Hutt. The Clefs have performed at many festivals and small venues including Sun Life Uptown Waterloo Jazz Festival, Belmont Village Bestival, All That Worldly Jazz Festival, Kultrun Festival, The Registry Theatre, and is a regular performer at The Jazz Room in Waterloo.

In 2017 he founded the local arts and music festival, Belmont Village Bestival. Tim is presently in a collaboration with Jenn Weatherall to produce a musical entitled ‘An Gorta Mor’. This musical is a story of a family immigrating from Ireland to Canada during the Potato Famine.  The Clefs of Moher and in turn, An Gorta Mor, sprang out of his desire to learn about and embrace his Irish heritage.
