Mike and Mitchell did not start out first as "the Timson Folk Band," They started out as a funk group called "Mike and Mitchell's Funk Time Express". They released the album "Stop in the name of Funk" on February 9th 2011, Jeremy Tervo was featured on the album. Mike and Mitchell's Funk time express did not do good with listeners. Nobody wanted to listen to a funk band anymore.

The Timson folk band was created in 2011 after the Funk Time Express faliure. Mike and Mitchell took a trip to Georgia to learn how to become better musicians. They were out of money and had nowhere else to go, legend has it that the devil visited them and gave them the Power of Folk in exchange for their souls.

Directly after its release, a crazed fan names Dan Reinbold began chasing them around. He thought he deserved to be in the band and because of that he planned assassination attempts on Jeremy Tervo and later, Kyle Smith. Though they both died young, it was not as a result of Dan’s attempts. During a tour in 2015 saxophonist Jeremy Timson discovered heroin, it was a fatal addiction. In a tour of the anniversery release of "Timson" Jeremy went out of control, attacking several roadies. Jeremy's addiction caught speed after the re-release of "Super Sunday", Jeremy's saxophone sound was becoming strange, He was also making crazy accusations that he was an alien sent from the Skies. Jeremy then died in 2016 of a massive heart attack after consuming copious amounts of Drugs, he was found in his apartment alone clutching a syringe completely drained of heroin. When he died the remaining members left the public eye for 4 years, gathering replacements and writing new material for their comeback. They returned with a new addition of the electric washboard, played by Kyle Timson. Dan originally auditioned, but the founders turned him down because of his Nazi ideals and his prejudice to everything that was not a white male that was born in America. With the addition of the new washboardest, the sound on their new album was tighter and more together. The comeback album Timson Rising was an instant success, the synth keyboards, electric guitar, and for the first time a synth washboard was a proud fit for the Timson Folk Band. The album also featured a Reqium for Jeremy Tervo. Though disaster soon striked on stage when playing the song "Explosian", during the washboard solo Kyle was electrocuted to death in front of 60,000 people.
