Timbreroots

Timbreroots – this is the name of one of the most promising local bands of today. With their multi-part vocal harmonies and the assemblage of a variety of influences, they build a bridge between yesterday and today." The unique Timbreroots sound emerges from a fusion of ambient indie folk, alternative rock, Britpop, and Americana. Epic vocal harmonies of up to five voices, accompanied by guitars, banjo, piano, keyboard sounds, percussion, and the powerful marimba, merge into a one-of-a-kind musical experience. "They have never experienced a singer live who is so musical and has such great vocal control" (Vocal coach at the Mozarteum University).

Another defining element of their sound is the distinctive voice of lead singer Benedikt Sanoll, which spans an impressive range of three octaves and allows him to create various vocal colors and sounds. "He uses his voice like an instrument that can produce different tones." (Student at the Pop Academy Baden-Württemberg).

Listeners familiar with their music may recognize similarities to Coldplay, Mumford & Sons, John Butler, Bon Iver, The Lumineers, Ben Howard, Hollow Coves, Jacob Collier, or even contemporary composers like Eric Whitacre. Indeed, these are some of the band's primary influences. However, the individual members bring a wide range of personal inspirations, from classical music to jazz, which is no surprise considering that all of them have completed formal music studies at university.
