Timi & Wonderland Rangers

Local singer-songwriter Timi Conley is celebrated as the founder and spiritual ambassador of the annual Wild Rumpus celebration, but Athenians also know him for his tireless exploration of the funky far reaches of pop. With Fuzzy Sprouts, Kite to the Moon and, most recently, Timi & Wonderland Rangers, Conley has made a career out of crafting thoughtful, ecstatic music designed to make crowds move. Conley and his band—Shelley Lotus, Andrew Hanmer, Kevin Sims, Tony Oscar and Chris Byron—will commemorate the Rangers’ new album, Baby’s Bread, with a show on the Georgia Theatre Rooftop Monday. The gig will also serve as a party for Conley’s 50th birthday. Check out a single from the new album on Homedrone.
