Festival Director
Tim Walsh
Tim would probably prefer a simple introduction, but I’m going to do something that might make him cringe and talk about him instead!
To so many of us, Tim has been an inspiration—to pick up an instrument, sing a little louder, and share our passions without hesitation. He has a unique gift: whatever excites you somehow becomes even more exciting after you’ve talked about it with him.
And when he performs, he’s truly something to behold. It’s not just his talent that captivates people—it’s the joy he brings to every note, every song, and every moment. Tim embodies joy in motion.
As one of the original founders of Hudson PorchFest and our fearless leader, Tim has helped build something incredibly special. Through his dedication, he’s not only raised funds for our community but also lifted spirits and created unforgettable memories for all of us.
Tim, thank you for everything you do. Thank you for your passion, your leadership, and for bringing us along for the ride of a lifetime. Hudson PorchFest wouldn’t be the same without you.
