Now, with lost years of club and festival touring and an ever-extending catalogue of original tunes, this Alberta-based 12-string troubadour delivers an authentic acoustic sound that remains unabashedly rooted in the past while enthusiastically embracing the here and now. This is hillbilly soul, from hard and fast to soft and painful, strictly the real thing, with no filler. Featuring a powerful concoction of introspective yet insightful songwriting, an often gospel-flavored singing style, and an easy musicality enhanced by the understated blend of 12-string guitar and harmonica, Tim Harwill delivers one of the most inspiring live performances in roots music today.
With the release of his 3rd album of signature original material, the 10-song ‘Tim Harwill - All I Really Need' - now available on www.CDBaby.com and www.indiepool.com - he cements a claim as one of the enduring Canadian independent singer/songwriters.
“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
A life-long devotee of the small-town prairie lifestyle, the relentlessly touring Tim Harwill can reliably be found on-stage through most months of the calendar year. This is where his relentless focus sculpted a sound and style uniquely his own, and where his live performances first evoked comparison to the greats of the past. And it is here that he demonstrates his commitment to the working mans' ethic by delivering an honest nights work while keeping things technically simple in the day-to-day, as he continues to work at meeting the changing demands of independent music in the 21st century.
