Tim & The Glory Boys are independent Canadian country music recording artists based out of Abbotsford, British Columbia. Lead singer, Tim Neufeld, has toured the world for over a decade, shared the stage with countless Canadian Country, Roots and Gospel artists, and won multiple JUNO[1], Dove, and Covenant awards[2]. The Glory Boys are a Canadian Bluegrass Trio of backwoods hillbillies with world-class facial hair and infectious on-stage energy. Together, the guys have been entertaining live audiences around the world since 2013[3][4] with their unique blend of boot-stompin' country bluegrass, elaborate production elements and a healthy dose of blue-collar humour.


History

[edit]

After the hiatus of Tim's previous band, Starfield, there was a desire to return to his roots and bring a family friendly, bluegrass, country feel to his music. For his first solo tour, which launched in early 2013, Neufeld assembled a band including Colin Trask (drummer/percussionist for Starfield), Matthew Izaguirre (bassist), Jon Bryant (indie Canadian singer-songwriter on banjo, guitars and dulcimer) and Jon Mushaluk (stand up bass). The songs from Trees took on a distinct bluegrass feel when played live on tour with the featured use of banjo, dobro and dulcimer. During the course of the Trees Tour the band took on the moniker "Tim Neufeld & The Glory Boys" which then morphed into their current name "Tim & The Glory Boys". Neufeld and the band spent time in Nashville over the next 4 years recording music that was a blend of Gospel, Bluegrass, and Country, which they called "Newgrass".[5]

In the fall of 2018, Tim & The Glory Boys embarked on their most ambitious tour to date [6], 'The Buffalo Roadshow Tour'[7], hitting 115 different Canadian towns/cities and 25 US dates.[8]

A new year means fresh starts and 2020 is exactly that for Tim & The Glory Boys. They are pushing harder than ever into the Bluegrass/Country space in Canada and giving people some Country Bluegrass for the soul[9]. They released their first single in over a year titled 'When You Know You Know', and it's their biggest push to radio and online streaming to date.
