Formed in the summer of 2009, Red Pine Timber Co. originally set out as a ‘loose’ collective of musicians led by former Southpaw singer-songwriter and guitarist Gavin Munro.

Red Pine Timber Co. are currently in the studio writing and recording their forthcoming debut album, aiming to set a release date sometime in the first half of 2012.
