Timothy David Storms (28 August 1972 - present)
Member Of: Acappella (1995), The Vocal Union (1995 - 1996), AVB (1996 - 1999), Rescue (2003 - 2005)
Vocal Range: B0 - B4
{Vocal Summary}The three-time world record holder for the world's lowest note produced by a human, Tim Storms holds a certain notoriety that few other bass singers have ever possessed. It's hard to distance Storms from the mythos surrounding his world record feats, but beyond that admittedly impressive accomplishment, Storms is also one of the most well-traveled Christian acappella basses of all-time. His gravelly low voice has anchored various iterations and offshoots of the Acappella Company over the years, although it was only with Rescue that Storms began taking more of a central role, often being granted extended bass solos on songs like "Amazing Grace" and "Lonesome Road". Today Storms can still be found performing locally in his hometown of Branson, Missouri, as well as doing voice-over work for film studios. Few voices could fit such a role so perfectly.
