Tim Harwill image courtesy Tracy Kolenchuk Having spent the previous half-decade delivering over 800 performances across North America primarily as an acoustic and solo artist, Canadian singer/songwriter Tim Harwill is now working with his new band, the True Country String Trio. Scheduled to begin production on his 4th album of signature material in early 2009, the indie troubadour and accomplished performer continues to define a musical vision based on his personal artistic ethic wrapped in the soul of true country music.Born into a large working poor family from the ridge country of the Manitoba Interlake district in west-central Canada, Tim Harwill dreamed of a personal brand of countrified roots music before the on-set of adult life while at the feet of an assortment of his musical brethren. Hitting the road as a teen, lost years and countless miles of indie touring have delivered an intensely compelling performer with an impressive catalogue of emotionally involving, lyrically intelligent, and musically accessible original songs. Which the Alberta-based 12-string troubadour delivers with a relentless commitment, unabashedly rooted in country music's past while embracing an electrified and powerful new musical ethos. Eschewing pyrotechnics for honesty, and fuelled by a combination of deeply personal, universally insightful lyrics, accessible melodies, driving electrified country-and-blues based rhythms, and his unforgettable voice, Tim Harwill and his band consistently engage while delivering one of the most passionate performances in roots music today. Having released 3 critically praised and primarily acoustic full-length recordings on CD to date, his audience continues to grow as he evolves into one of the respected and enduring Canadian songwriters performing today. 'All I Really Need'...this is true country…Harwill fits with the likes of Tyson and Robbins…real country fans will be in heaven…a performer staying true to the music and not selling out for the radio. – Yorkton This Week, 2008 'Thru The Bottom Of A Glass'...full of acoustic roots country flavored tunes...Tim Harwill delivers a winning vocal performance. - Roots Music Report, 2005 'Spinner of Tales'...an incredible, heart-felt acoustic CD...excellent first effort...should grace anyone's collection. - Northern Journey, 1998 Legendarily reclusive by nature, Tim Harwill lives quietly in small-town Alberta with canine traveling companion Koko when he is not on tour. With live performances evoking comparison to the greats of the past, he defines the term 'throwback', producing an authentically country sound while remaining true to his personal artistic vision in the rapidly changing musical landscape of the 21st century. © Harwill Music 2008, All Rights Reserved "The writer is a spiritual anarchist, as in the depth of his soul every man is. He is discontented with everything and everybody. The writer is everybody's best friend and only true enemy - the good and great enemy. He neither walks with the multitude nor cheers with them. The writer who is a writer is a rebel who never stops." – William Saroyan, 1908-1981 (from The William Saroyan Reader, 1958)
