The Timbers are quickly gaining a reputation for their lively and passionate shows. In their short time together, they have quickly spawned a loyal and enthusiastic following. If you can imagine The Pogues, Mumford and Son’s, and The Mountain Goats writing songs together, then you might know what to expect at one of their shows. Their positive energy is contagious due to the fact that each member is exceptionally talented and unique.

Consisting of Simon Basey (vocals, guitar & foot controlled bass pedals), Benjamin Roberts (lead guitar, vocals, foot percussion & tin whistle), Sarah O'Brien (violin) and Craig Atkins (cajon, djembe, snare, stomp), this band is fast becoming Adelaide’s next exciting must see live music experience.

The band has headlined shows at the Wheatsheaf Hotel, The Grace Emily Hotel, Metropolitan Hotel, and  at Higher Ground. They have performed with acts such as Emily Davis, Fallen Sunrise, Simon Peter and Todd Sibbin. The Timbers have a very busy summer ahead with spots in the Summer Cherry Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, and Crush Festival.

The Timbers are scheduled to enter the studio in late 2009 for a debut recording as a follow up to their previously released CD 'Chase the Sun' under their former name 'Room 4.09'
