Steve Nathan Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 We lost a great one today. He'd been battling Leukemia for some time, and he had a set back and lost the battle. He was a terrific player and a scary good arranger and band leader. We did many records together and he was always funny, generous and a joy to share keyboard duties with. Rest In Peace Tim.

Keybass Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 This is very sad news, Tim was a musical force for good in the world. My condolences to all of his loved ones. Quote Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davinwv Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm heartbroken! I saw this on Natalie Hemby's Instagram earlier this evening. Rest easy, Tim. Your playing & arranging made us all smile (and give many well deserved stank faces). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 So sorry to hear it. He was something else...a musician's musician. Much love to his Family in these most difficult days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobadohshe Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Sad to hear it. I didn't know his playing much but I really dug those 'Smoking Section' videos over the past couple years. Amazing arrangements and playing.

drawback Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Sad to hear it. I didn't know his playing much but I really dug those 'Smoking Section' videos over the past couple years. Amazing arrangements and playing. This was my experience too. It takes a special kind of musician and human to pull together what Tim Akers was able to do. Sorry for your loss, Steve and the Nashville community. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
