Tim Batts

Tim grew up singing in church with his family and played the trumpet in Middle and High School. He has always loved music but stopped playing and singing until his late 30s. Tim then decided to take it up again after falling in love with bluegrass music in the late 1990s! He helped form the Homemade Jam Bluegrass Band in 2010, and since then, his passion has grown for performing, promoting, and producing music. His Hometown Bluegrass Show is on the Paducah, Kentucky-based classic country station WLLE 102.1 FM, and Tim also hosts a podcast with 20 Time Bluegrass Guitar Player of the Year Josh Williams. He is now very excited to be a part of the Bluegrass Jamboree! Tim is also the President of The Jackson Purchase Friends of Bluegrass, an organization that promotes bluegrass music in Western KY. Tim and his wife Rhonda make their home in Ballard County, KY.
