Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. For guitarist Tim Reynolds, his musical travels have taken him here, there, everywhere and nowhere, and given him a chance to play the music he wants. He’ll be making a stop Feb. 2 at the Tahoe Biltmore in Crystal Bay.

The son of a military man, Reynolds spent much of his childhood living in different places.

“I come from nowhere mostly,” Reynolds said in a press release. “My dad was in the Army so we moved around a lot. Germany is where I was born, and after that we lived on a farm in Indiana, then on an Army base in Alaska, then to Kansas, then to Missouri, where we lived the longest. Then I moved to Virginia, and I was there for 17 years or so.”

Reynolds picked up the guitar as a young boy. Rebelling against his conservative upbringing, he plunged into jazz and the early psychedelic rock scene of the ’60s and early ’70s, according to a press release.

At the age of 18, he left home and eventually joined a group of experimental musicians. He immersed himself in a number of musical styles, from progressive rock to jazz to funk to classical, according to a press release. He learned to play bass, piano, sitar, mandolin, violin and solo djembe, and he developed a command of electronic instruments.

After Reynolds settled in Charlottesville, Va., he founded TR3 in the late ’80s. He bonded with another local musician, Dave Matthews, and the two joined forces, often in the studio and on tour, according to a press release. His frequent collaborations with Matthews exposed him to big venue concerts and financially helped him to pursue a solo career.

“If I didn’t have that [Matthews] connection,” he said to the Santa Barbara (Calif.) New-Press, “I might still be living in Charlottesville and playing in the four cities in that area for a living, which I did for many years. I played weddings, jazz gigs, had my own band and played in three or four other bands. That’s how you make a living as a local musician.”

Since 1999, Reynolds has recorded eight solo albums, including his latest release “Parallel Universe.” His shows are a mix of acoustic and electric, according to a press release, and he’s assembled side gigs such as Invisible Pagan Underdogs and thrown in multi-media touches.

Now living in Santa Fe, N.M., Reynolds, 49, is inspired by his environment, he told the Daily Record.

“It opens up the space in your head because you see it all over,” he said. “Ever since I moved to New Mexico, I’ve had a different space in the house where I write music, and it’s made a big difference. It just increases the amount of space I can feel and see in my music.”
