Timothy Nelson & The Infidels

About Me

Driven by award winning song writing*, and knocked out of the park by an ensemble of spellbinding musicians, Timothy Nelson & The Infidels are a solar system of melody. Described as "the best thing to come out of Perth in years", the Infidels' sound wraps itself around the audience in a whirlwind of timeless folk pop, as the influences of The Beatles and Bob Dylan float atop a raging current of raw, honest lyrics that cut straight to the bone. The songs will stay etched in your memory long after the first listen, and the people just keep coming back for more.
"With a raw unaffected and vulnerable writing style the lyrics of Nelson seem to jump off the page of an old fashioned paper journal" -- FasterLouder
*WAM Song Of The Year 2007, "The odds were in favour of entrant Timothy Nelson, whose winning track Overcast Day was one of his two songs nominated in the category." - Official WAM Press Release
