Meltdown is the sophomore full-length album by Poughkeepsie, New York native Jeff Timm. Don’t be discouraged by the title, because the ten songs are not only about breaking down but also about building back up. The singer/songwriter hears some dark echoes of the past in the back of his mind, but he also has a keen eye for what’s going on now, resulting in an urgent ode to resilience and reckoning.

These are heartfelt stories set to roots rock—solid but soulful Americana—in which hard and soft naturally go hand in hand, just like Tom Petty could do. Together they make up a pure and powerful record, with a live feel and a big sound.

Meltdown—recorded, mixed, and mastered by Ray Ketchem—is out now digitally via Magic Door Record Label. Featuring Jeff Timm (vocals, acoustic guitar), with James Mastro (electric guitars, bass, mandolin), Kevin March (drums), and Renee LoBue (backing vocals), except for You Know Better, with Phil Chieco (electric guitars), John VanLuyk (bass), and Mike Wallner (drums).
