About Me
Born and raised in the small upstate NY town of Gloversville, Tim Veeder
picked up his first saxophone at the age of 11. During his high school
years Tim played his first professional gigs in the local horn-rock band
Cleen Street and the OverEasy Horns, alongside his band teacher,
mentor and cousin John Savage.
In 1999 Tim moved to Albany, NY to attend The College of Saint Rose
where he studied music education and saxophone under Paul
Evoskevich and Mark Vinci. Tim earned his Bachelor of Science degree
in Music Education (cum laude) in 2003 and his Master of Science
degree also in Music Education in 2007.
Tim was a staple of the Albany, NY music scene through 2007 playing
at numerous clubs, concert halls and regional events with many well-
known local bands. The most notable of these being The Burners UK
where he played throughout the United States and abroad in places such
as Washington DC, Atlanta, GA, the Olympic Arena in Lake Placid,

many national Democratic and Republican events. Tim's saxophone
playing was also featured on many local and regional television shows,
including a national TV broadcast of the Mike & the Mad Dog sports talk
show on the YES Network.
In 2007 Tim decided to take his saxophone playing and teaching to New
