Bio
No ordinary song and dance man, Tim is a
triple-threat. A handsome, exciting,
multitalented man who is a singing machine
that dances and embodies a colorful musical
tapestry woven with inspiration and divine
talent. Tim is listed in Who’s Who in music
along with his Grammy Award winning
cousin, Al Green.
Tim co-starred with Clifton Davis and Leslie
Uggams in the all-black version of the hit Broadway musical “Guys and
Dolls” and received accolades comparable to Davis and Uggams.
Maintaining his all-win audition record, as a teenager, Tim became the star
of Dancin’ Machine, a group signed with Casablanca records during the
heyday of Donna Summer. Tim, along with Dancin’ Machine, enjoyed
many seasons on three hit television series, Kicks, Hot City and the
Midnight Special. The group toured the United States but became very
popular in Australia. While performing in a nationally televised special at
Sidney’s Opera House, Tim and Dancin Machine before an audience of
250,000 people, who were spread out on the steps, hills and in boats
around the Opera House, received a standing ovation for their
performance.
Tim later landed the starring role as “Harry” in the hit Broadway musical
Eubie- the role Gregory Hines originated. The critics praised him for his
unique tap and acrobatic style; they compared his voice to that of the
legendary Johnny Mathis.
Tim went on to tour with Lola Falana for several great years and starred in
a succession of major hit shows in Las Vegas; “Splash” (Tim Searcy also
cocreator/Choreography of the first original award winning show),
“Legends In Concert”, (where he portrayed the legendary Sam Cooke), and
“Abracadabra”(Tim Searcy also cocreator/music), where he received the
award Best Lead Performer, “Entertainer of the Year” 1988 & 1989.
Tim Searcy has starred with Grammy and Tony award winners Jennifer
Holiday and Stephanie Mills in the Hit Broadway musical, “Your Arms Too
Short To Box With God”, on Broadway and national tour.
Tim Searcy has recently won 2 Las Vegas Toddy Awards, Best Male
Vocalist and Best In Show, for his live performance of his new hit single “
We Can All Make A Difference” at Golden Rainbow’s Ribbon Of Life event
in Las Vegas and is now releasing his long awaited self entitled Adult
Contemporary CD to the world.
In the recording world as a vocalist, Tim, a former Sony/Epic/Solar
recording artist, has worked with Grammy winning writer/producers like
Maurice White (Earth, Wind And Fire), Wayne and Wanda Vaughn
(Emotions) and Jeffrey Osborne.
Tim Searcy has starred in “VEGAS, The Show” at the Saxe Theater, Planet
Hollywood Hotel and Casino. Las Vegas.
Tim Searcy is currently working on his New R&B Soul CD titled “Big As
Life”, which will be soon available October 2015 on the TMG label world-
