"TiMBAH: Australia's Answer to the Dave Matthews Band"

"TiMBAH, Australia's answer to the Dave Matthews Band, tour
relentlessly and - like their North American spiritual siblings -
invariably win over crowds where ever they go with their lively brand
of folk-jazz-rock fusion."
- Nick Jarvis (Editor - 3D World Magazine, Sydney)


"TiMBAH: Expect Big Things"

"Lead by the intricate guitar work and age-less voice of Nye Stewart,
and backed by the rollicking percussion of brother Abe and a revolving
cast of ship mates jamming on anything from fiddle to banjo, harp,
double bass, keyboard, guitar or mandolin, TiMBAH are a uniquely
talented and charismatic collective. Expect big things from this band,
whose appeal crosses generational and genre divides."
- Darren MacEllroy (Radio Host - Bay FM, Byron Bay)

Bio

Lead by the intricate guitar work and age-less voice of Nye Stewart, and backed by the rollicking percussion of brother Abe; TiMBAH’s nucleus inspires all. Rivalling many folk frenzies’ among us, TiMBAH would not be complete without their remaining dedicated ensemble; jamming on anything from fiddle to harmonica, electric guitar, bass, keyboard, clarinet or melodica.
Emerging from the low end, steadfast and smooth, comes Nick Warren on the Bass radiating spicy and electrifying grooves.
Bursting from the seams the exceptionally talented Nicholas ‘springy’ Springall emits a unique phalanges’ dance on keyboard.
While the poignant, yet energetic violin, poking jovially between riffs by Christopher Gillespie enhances every song.
With their roots spanning the east coast of Australia from Tasmania through to Queensland, TiMBAH’s music influences span an even greater divide. Inspirations such as their idol and favourite; Dave Matthews Band, to the John Butler Trio, The Beatles, Colin Hay and Django Reinhart, denotes the production of TiMBAH’s distinctive eclectic tunes. Putting on a performance for young & old, energetic & passive, dancers & listeners alike, TiMBAH display incredible musicianship and engaging stage presence, leaving a feeling of elation no audience member can deny.
TiMBAH are a uniquely gifted and charismatic collective. Their Folk-Rock masterpiece flirts with elements of Gypsy swing, Jazz, Blues and Roots. Bounding between genres with creative poise and diversifying musicianship this band will continue to pave the path to musical greatness.

Striving to encourage positive influence in their community, TiMBAH has developed a family of open hearted and dedicated followers. TiMBAH is a band with integrity and a genuine concern for global ethics in their portrayal of music, creating circles of support wherever they set foot. TiMBAH spread their ingenious gestures throughout Australia’s musical playground striving to establish a supportive arts industry that identifies with emerging talents. Whether it is school-based music workshops, recording projects, festivals in remote and rural Australia or providing gig opportunities to up & comers; TiMBAH are on deck.
Lead Vocalist & Guitarist; Nye Stewart, devotes his waking hours to a plethora of additional music endeavours including studying a Bachelor of Community Development & Arts at Toowoomba’s Sounthern Cross University and Sound engineering & technician for locally renowned Live music venue; Rics Bar. Supporting his vision of improved access to the music industry for emerging Artists; Nye dedicates his knowledge of musical production as Operations Manager for JAM- Join Australian Music conducting musical workshops throughout remote Queensland communities. Percussionist; Abe Stewart contributes abundantly to the live music scene playing with local bands; Beats Working, DJs, Tabla player; Deeraj, Ofa(Chocolate Strings) and Jeoff Turnbull while also throwing his creative ingenuity into JAM, Australia. Fronting professional groups outside TiMBAH, including Nightillion & 13-piece orchestral projects; Chris Gillespie sparks the Brisbane scene frequently with his assorted guitar and violin reverberation. Not only creating TiMBAH’s unique resonance, Bassist; Nick Warren, expands on his reputation as ‘Tasmania’s musical mastermind’ through his regular participation in recording workshops and album productions for an array of local musicians. Finally, TiMBAH’s youngest prodigy; Nicholas Springall, permeates the Brisbane art world with his jazzy skills in theatre sound projects at Ipswich Civic Centre and his solo recordings. Touring nationally and internationally, between sideline musician’s support projects and mixing & mastering their own, TiMBAH are a role model for authentic, community focussed, music industry success.
TiMBAH have toured the East Coast of Australia on multiple occasions spreading their ingenious gestures to places such as the Hunter Valley Region in June 2009, and Sydney & surrounds February 2010.
