Tim Kasher

Biography
by James Christopher Monger
Nebraska-born indie rocker Tim Kasher, best known as the frontman for prominent Saddle Creek Records outfits Cursive and the Good Life, grew up in Omaha alongside fellow crooner and close friend Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes (Oberst references Kasher in the Bright Eyes tune "Nothing Gets Crossed Out”). Kasher’s literate and heavily thematic songwriting style has won him numerous critical accolades, and the nine records he has released under the Cursive and Good Life banners have helped to cement his indie rock reputation both regionally and nationally. In 2009 Kasher left his Los Angeles home and hunkered down in a Whitefish, MT studio to record his debut solo album. Game of Monogamy, a self-penned, recorded, and produced collection of moody, intricate, orchestral indie pop, arrived on Saddle Creek the following year.
