Red Pine Timber Company (Scottish Americana Band)

Red Pine Timber Company cut logs and keep their chainsaws clean. At night they drain the still, sit on the stumps and weave gothic tunes of love and loss: born from their Scottish roots and the woods that surround them.

Red Pine Timber Company was formed in Perth, Scotland in the summer of 2009 to honour a gig at the Perth’s Southern Fried Music Festival by ex-Southpaw front man Gavin J.D. Munro.

Gathering a loose collective of like-minded musicians, Munro took to the stage with an 11-piece band and a handful of new songs. The gig was well received and Red Pine Timber Company was born.

The band has plied its trade for the last 4 years throughout the highlands and islands of Scotland with a fluid line up honing and sharpening their live performance and building a strong fan base.

The Red Pines have now evolved in to a core 8 piece band of buskers, seasoned pros and novices; indiscriminate of age, gender or nationality. The Red Pine Timber Company play a blend of Country Americana with a Celtic twist which has been described as bourbon matured in whiskey barrels, subverting the absurdity of a Scottish band playing American music, by meaning it.

The common link between the diverse members of The Red Pine Timber Company is a love of roots music and performing it. This is truly a band formed on that ethos alone with a manifesto to spread the word throughout the land of the music's righteous powers to salve the human condition, whilst having a Hooley doing it. The Red Pine Timber Company has self-financed their debut album which will be released in spring 2014.
