The Shem Creek Boogie Band began playing a Thursday night gig in the spring of 1991, at The Trawler Restaurant in Mt. Pleasant, SC, on Shem Creek, thus the name, SCBB…. The band is comprised of Tim V. Haynes, one of 2 lead singers in the group. Tim was born in Spartanburg, S.C. Tim lived in California as a young child and then spent most of his teen years residing in the upstate of South Carolina. He started his musical career by singing and playing guitar as a teen for all of his friends and family. He then began playing seriously in 2005 as a solo act around the state, and has continued to expand. He is now singing and playing with The Shem Creek Boogie Band, and also as a soloist on the local Charleston scene. His love of music encompasses easy rock, blues, beach music, and crossover.
