TIMBO SIMS. VOCALS. KEYS.
Timbo Sims’ fondness of music began early, listening to his favorites before he could play, and learning to play as soon as life allowed. He began his education as a child through piano lessons, encouraged by his loved ones. By high school, if there was a piano around, Timbo was sharing his music with family and friends every chance he could get. Music filled his every day.
One of Timbo’s early musical adventures began with The Opposition, an experimental improv-jam band formed with John McBroom and Bradley Carr in college. Eventually evolving into Red Weather, by the 90s, Timbo was writing, performing, and recording original psychedelic rock. In the 2020s, Timbo became part of several notable bands and projects, including freestyle rock and roll influenced Kerosene Willy and western swing flavored Leonard Blush and the Camelcals, building a body of work rooted in collaboration and exploration. Each experience added depth, perspective, and a deeper understanding of the craft.
That journey eventually led back to the songs of Red Weather when the opportunity arose to form the Freak Rangers in 2024. The three college friends agreed to share the stage with friends and extraordinary musicians, Matt Leonard and Jay Gladden, treating the new project like a natural evolution and continuation rather than a nostalgia band. With the Freak Rangers, Timbo continues to bring new creativity to each performance with his love of musical exploration.
