Tim Hofman was born in Washington D.C. - one of nine children - and has played the piano for 35 years. Classically trained under Roger Priese of the National Symphony in Washington DC, Tim has performed all over the United States and toured in 24 countries. After spending his formative years in California, Tim returned to the east coast in the early 1990's to make his home Ocean City, Maryland, where his six brothers also reside.

Tim Hofman has produced and released 15 CDs - 3 of which contain all original scores. Tim's COCKTAIL PIANO music is a series of piano recordings dedicated to that special type of piano music you might associate with elegant lounges high atop the skyscrapers of New York or with an intimate night club somewhere along the Left Bank in Paris. It is quiet, sophisticated music, drawing from schools of jazz and classical, elegantly blending the styles into a feast for the senses. It features the great standards of the 1930s and 1940s from such gifted writers as George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington, Rodgers & Hart, and many others. This music is for relaxing and dining and makes a welcome companion in your car. It is music to end your day with and for quiet times on the weekend.

Since making Ocean City his home in 1994, Tim has been invited to perform in many of the resort's largest and most prestigious hotels. While his live performances encompass all genres of music, Tim's favorites draw from the varying styles of Classical, Jazz and Rock music. Some of his favorite artists are Oscar Peterson, Frederic Chopin, Keith Emerson, Art Tatum, and film composer John Williams, and many more.
