Leon Timbo & The Family Band
Aug 23 @ 7:30 pm
Hendersonville Theatre

Hendersonville Theatre welcomes Leon Timbo & the Family Band as August’s intimate HT’s Hometown Sound Music Series concert! For country-soul singer-songwriter Leon Timbo, music is used as a form of growth and healing. Timbo’s country sound incorporates equal measures of vintage soul, gospel, folk, R&B, and even modern blues making for a unique experience that some have described as “transparent soul.”

After years of spreading his Gospel roots, Timbo set his eyes on Country and Americana territory with his 2021 release, Lovers and Fools. The album explored themes of love, loss, and letting go. Timbo released the follow-up, Lovers and Fools Vol 2, in June 2022. He also released a Christmas album, Carols of Love and Healing, in 2022.

Timbo is currently on the road supporting his new music and has just finished touring with two-time Grammy Award®–winning bassist, Marcus Miller, during his residency with Blue Note New York. Timbo will continue touring with Miller along with The Black Opry as well as playing festivals, including American Roots Festival and Newport Folk Festival, throughout the summer.
