The Tim Shelton Syndicate is made up of NewFound Road co-founders Tim Shelton and Jr. Williams as well as NFR alum, Joe Booher, on mandolin,  Pittsburgh native, Avery Welter, on guitar and Sam Lauderbaugh on bass.  In short order, The Tim Shelton Syndicate has proven to be an exciting and powerful presence on stage. The band effortlessly transitions from hard driving, intense Bluegrass tunes to heart wrenching Country ballads, even adding elements of Classic Rock, all while remaining anchored to Bluegrass music.  The band went into producer Ben Isaacs studio in late 22' to start recording their debut album. Tim Shelton would write and or co-write 3 songs and lend lead vocals to 9 of the 11 tracks.  The Tim Shelton Syndicate (album) also features guest appearances by Country music legend, Vince Gill, Sonya Isaacs and fiddle great, Jenee Fleenor.
