Tim Burgess
Biography
Tim Burgess inherited Mick Jagger's rock & roll swagger and big lips before Oasis' Liam Gallagher became famous for it. When Burgess debuted with his group the Charlatans in the late ‘80s, he looked and sounded almost interchangeable with many of the Manchester, England artists at the time -- bangs, baggy pants, and detached, lazy vocals -- but by embracing other musical styles and moving forward he has actually outlived his contemporaries. Burgess may not receive the critical accolades, British tabloid clippings, and chart hits of the bands who influenced him or he helped inspire; however, he has quietly built a solid career with an impressive body of work that transcended the Madchester, shoegazer, and Britpop movements which his group flirted with. Burgess was born on May 30, 1967 in Salford, Manchester, England. In 1989, he joined the Charlatans, then consisting of keyboardist Rob Collins, guitarist Jon Baker, bassist Martin Blunt, and drummer Jon Brookes. Burgess was selected after an array of singers had already been auditioned. In 1991, the band was signed to Beggars Banquet. The single "The Only One I Know" was hugely successful on U.S. modern-rock stations, peaking at No.
