Tim Hus has a voice sweeter
than a Husqvarna chainsaw, a wit that is sharper than
rusty barbed wire, and a list of songs longer than a Saskatchewan
fence line! Following his acclaimed CD Bush
Pilot Buckaroo comes the highly anticipated
fifth album (his 2nd for Stony Plain Records) Hockeytown
joining Corb Lund and the legendary Ian Tyson on the label.
Hus comes at his audience like a runaway rig, while firing
off image-laden lyrics with the intensity of a western
gunslinger. |

The Alberta based singer with the black hat and easygoing personality
is a captivating and crowd pleasing performer who easily draws
listeners into the settings of his storytelling country and
roots music. Tim's distinctive songwriting and spirited performances
by the members of his dynamic band stand as a cornerstone of
authentic Canadiana!
Even though Tim Hus is a young songwriter he writes the
kind of songs that come from experience. He’s traveled
a lot of miles, heard a lot of stories, and made a lot
of friends along the way. He’s been everything from
a beer truck driver to a sawhand, a salmon farmer to a
tree planter, and a cabinet maker to a well driller. And
he sings about all of it.

Tim has performed in many venues throughout Alberta, British
Columbia, Saskatchewan, and the Maritimes, repeatedly being
asked to return. In 2002 and 2006 he received a very positive
response to his music while performing in Germany.
Tim tours and performs concerts with his band Tim Hus
& The Rocky Mountain Two, featuring Billy MacInnis
on fiddle and lead guitar and Riley Tubbs on upright string
bass. Billy is one of the most accomplished fiddle players in
the Maritime provinces of Canada. He has appeared with country
recording artists such as Prairie Oyster and John Allen Cameron
and has been playing fiddle for the legendary Stompin' Tom for
the last six years. Solid licks and agreeable melodies reinforce
the songs while Tubbs lays down a solid rhythm with doghouse
slap and a thick groove. Occasionally the group is joined by
Pat Phillips on the drums.
Tim and his band will continue to perform in support of Hockeytown
with performances at festivals, folk clubs and music venues
throughout Canada.
