One thing is clear when you hear Scott Pemberton O Theory. This is something new. Rooted in the familiar yet utterly unique, this nimble Power Trio creates their own brand of progressive roots music blending deep jazz, blues, rock/grunge, funk and psychedelia. It’s all there, and often all in the same song.

Driven by Scott's wildly unorthodox approach to the guitar, improvisation and songwriting; every concert is an entirely fresh experience. Scott Pemberton’s sound is much like the vibe of his native Portland: freaky, fun and just the right amount of weird. The best way to categorize his music is with the moniker “Timber Rock.” Scott naturally applies his own lens or stamp to the sounds of the Pacific North West, the region he has always called home.

Listeners are finding this honest, original, and to-the-point music refreshing and fun. The mastery of his guitar playing combined with the fun recklessness of his songwriting show that the rules of songwriting and playing the guitar no longer exist for him.

Playing festivals, theaters, taverns and nightclubs from coast to coast, SPOT proves during every performance their dedication to the fact that making music is an honor and a gift.

“At a festival FULL of guitarists, none played like Pemberton or was as fun to watch.”
– The Oregonian (Safeway Water Front Blues Festival)
