Calgary country roots band Steel & Timber are excited to announce the release of their new self-titled album, which will be out on May 28th. And today marks the release of the first single ‘Don’t Say No’.
Full of remorse and longing, ‘Don’t Say No’ captures the wistful feeling of wishing you could go back in time.
“This is a song of regret and the agony reliving a moment you could have changed,” says lead vocalist Nathan Harris-Thompson. “The torment of not knowing if things might be different, if you had made different choices.”
Steel & Timber started with a banjo, an acoustic guitar, and a summer evening jam in Calgary, Alberta. Founding members Nathan Harris-Thompson and Benjamin Rogalsky expected to play some covers, share some ideas, and enjoy the outdoors. What they didn’t expect was an audience. With requests for albums, future performances, and a guitar case full of tips, the duo branched out and started a band.
After releasing albums Homebrew in 2015 and Everything You Own in 2017, husband and wife duo and Newfoundland natives, Navarro and Stephanie Ralph, joined the group adding the drum and bass on the new album.
“Our new album is a collection of new songs and a few older ones that have been given new life with the addition of drums,” says Nathan. “The percussion adds a new pulse and energy that gives this third album a harder edge. We went with a self-titled album because when we added the drums, we felt we had found the sound we were looking for. We also gelled as a band. Our previous albums featured different bass players and an uncertain direction. This is the Steel & Timber we were looking for.”
Steel & Timber’s new single ‘Don’t Say No’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. Their new self-titled album will be released on May 28th. For more information, please visit steel-and-timber.com.
