Timothy Drury

Drury was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He is the son of actor James Drury and Cristall Orton Drury, and has an older brother, James III. His interest in music began when he was a small boy, and by the age of 5 he was taking piano lessons on a spinet piano his maternal grandmother had purchased. By the age of 11, he was writing his first songs and melodies. Through the years, he honed his skills as a writer and secured a position as a staff writer at Warner Chappell Music. His big break in the music industry came in 1989 when he was asked to join Don Henley's ensemble as keyboardist for The End of the Innocence tour. The Chicago Tribune described the tour as a chance for Henley "to ponder the enormity of it all: life, death, love, government, deceit and a growing social malaise" and that "little was lost to The End of the Innocence`s stage version, fueled by Tim Drury's piano." Following that tour, Drury worked with many other famous musicians and bands, such as the Eagles, Don Felder, Bryan Adams, Melissa Etheridge, Stevie Nicks and Whitesnake. As a songwriter, Drury co-wrote "Everything is Different Now" with Henley and Scott F. Crago. It was included on the album Inside Job which was released in May 2000, and debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. At the time, it was Henley's highest-charting album. …
