Timothy J. Goldrainer began
singing at a very early age. Some of his finest childhood memories, he recollects, were
entertaining family and neighbors at the local swim club, belting out Elvis tunes over the
snack bar microphone. "I was a skinny little runt, doing Jailhouse Rock and Teddy Bear at the pool... wearing a green Speedo. I couldn't believe it. Everyone loved it." He immediately discovered his passion for entertaining. His future was clear. |
| Graduation soon followed and
after a stint in a local pizza parlor, Tim decided to pursue his love full time and
entertain professionally. Tim's unique and immediate chemistry with a live audience was
incredible, and The Menus immediately were making a living playing music at young age. Tim's strong vocal talents were always there, but his crazy stage antics began to appear, augmenting an already superb performance. His crazy, colorful costumes (most of them homemade); women's swimsuits, brilliant hats, wrestler's singlets and much, much more all became and remain part of his stage wardrobe. His jumping and high energy dancing are mesmerizing, as the look on the faces of the audience will attest. One of his signature tricks is leaping into the air, kicking balloons strung high above his head causing them to explode, showering the stage in a rainfall of confetti. Always a crowd favorite! Tim is also a gifted skateboardist, which he incorporates in his show, by riding through the crowd on his hands (a trick he perfected in his youth). |

| Tim loves keeping the crowd
inter-acting with the band at all times, and will usually know a great majority of the
audience by name at the end of a performance. He also enjoying giving out gifts from
stage, the most popular being a button down sweater vest circa the 1970's. To receive one
is an honor and a tradition, and many past recipients can be seen wearing theirs at the
current show. Tim believes that if someone has left a Menus concert without the dancing, laughing, and entertainment of a lifetime, he didn't succeed in his goals. This rarely happens. |
