After parting ways with a former band, Greg McGowan began passing his time by writing songs in his living room where TIME & DISTANCE was born. Drawing upon his own heartbreak and triumphs, McGowan wrote what Black Velvet Magazine called, “heartfelt and intelligent.”

Based in Charleston, West Virginia McGowan never expected TIME & DISTANCE to perform beyond his own his living room. However, performances in his living room grew into shows at local venues which eventually led McGowan to record a demo. Once the demo began to circulate, TIME & DISTANCE could be found sharing the stage with bands such as Taking Back Sunday, One Line Drawing, The Starting Line, Midtown, The Movielife, Armor for Sleep and many more.
