Scott Pemberton’s sound is much like the vibe of his native Portland: freaky, fun and just the right amount of weird. The best way to categorize his music is with the moniker “Timber Rock”. Scott naturally applies his own lens/stamp to the sounds of the Pacific North West, the region he has always called home. The deep jazz, NW rock/grunge, blues roots and the west coast funk. It’s all there, and often all in the same song. Listeners are finding this honest, original and to-the-point music refreshing and fun. The mastery of his guitar playing combined with the fun recklessness of his songwriting show that the rules of songwriting and playing the guitar no longer exist for him. Scott plays with the uninhibited joy and intensity of someone who recognizes that every time we make music is an honor and a gift.
SQUATTR
Cop a squat! Give it all you got! SQUATTR is an energetic and original funk rock band from Boise, ID whose eclectic sound is a natural outgrowth of their deep love for all kinds of music. The group was formed by songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Boise native Andrew Jackson Johnson after he cut his teeth for years playing guitar, keyboard, and bass in the nationally touring Scott Pemberton Band. His songs, influenced by the likes of Steely Dan, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Phish, form the core of the band’s music. But beyond that, the group’s dynamic concerts feature deep danceable grooves, lengthy live improvisation, and varying setlists in the jam band vein, but with a distinctive horn-driven sound that’s unique within that genre. With an ever-growing repertoire of original music and a heartfelt desire to move booties, SQUATTR always looks forward to helping you get down!
