DJ Tim Rivers - Bartenders Bash 1979 - Side B
from SFDPS Hosted by SFDPS
Tim Rivers, "Timmy" to his friends and fans, was one of the major architects in building the disco scene in San Francisco that started in the mid-seventies. Tim was the city's first "deejay's deejay" who rose to prominence at the Mind Shaft and Bones and went on to lead his musical team of Steve Fabus and Michael Garrett at the I-Beam. Timmy played a rich blend of gospel influenced soulful disco, heavy on the Salsoul, Prelude and West End sound, and was a pioneer in the city akin to Larry Levan or Frankie Knuckles. Timmy made the I-Beam his temple and put the club and the city on the map in the late seventies where he was loved by his devoted fans that packed the club on his Thursday and Saturday nights. Tim also worked with close friends Sylvester and Don Miley over the years. Photo and description submitted by Steve Fabus
