Timber Timbre

Dark, brooding and swampy, Timber Timbre are a Canadian blues rock band drawing heavily on folk influences to create their atmospheric music.

Based around the talents of multi-instrumentalist Taylor Kirk, the band took their name from the log cabin-cum-recording studio deep in the Bobcaygeon woodlands in Ontario where Kirk recorded his early material. Their first two albums, 'Cedar Shakes' released in 2006 and 'Medicinals' released the following year, were self-funded and achieved little commercial success. After subsequently signing a deal with Canada's Arts and Crafts label the band released the self titled 'Timber Timbre'. The album was well received and made it on to the Polaris Prize long list. Toronto's 'Eye Weekly' magazine called the album "the spookiest disc of the year, and the best" and in keeping with the dark images conjured up by the music the album was available free on the band's website for the week of Halloween in 2009.

The band's music has been used in a number of television dramas and films, most notable 'The Good Wife' and 'Breaking Bad'. Subsequent album releases have received Polaris Music Prize nominations and the band continue record and tour across the United States and Europe.
