Tim Maurer has been singing for over 40 years with his first solo performance coming at the age of 14 in a choir that his mother directed. He would go on to sing in later years with the 6-time Grammy Award winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir as a soloist, and would travel the world as part of the choir. Tim would also serve with the New York City Police Department for 20 years, and he would also find himself singing for the NYPD’s ceremonial unit.
One of Tim’s most profound moments of singing would occur in December of 2014. Tim would have the honor of singing for the funeral of fellow officer Det Rafael Ramos, who was gunned down in his patrol car along with his partner. In attendance would be Vice President Of The United Joe Biden, Governor Mario Cuomo, and Mayor Bill Diblasio, along with numerous honored guests.
Currently, Tim is performing a one-man musical called “On The Radio” in an unplugged format in Astoria Queens.
“On The Radio” is an autobiographical depiction of Tim’s life in a storytelling and musical format, with songs that influenced his life that he heard on the radio at different times in his life. There are also several original songs by Tim in the show. According to Tim, “On The Radio” is not only a show, but it also is a presentation that he hopes would inspire and bring a level of hope to those who may be going through a painful experience in their lives.
