Thirty years. It’s an eternity in rock ‘n’ roll, and a marathon for the
bands who fly its tattered flag. Revisit the class of 1988, and the
casualties are piled high: a thousand bands that blew up and
burnt out. In this chew-and-spit industry, the Spin Doctors are the
last men standing, still making music like their lives depend on it,
still riding the bus, still shaking the room. They’ve never been a
band for backslaps and self-congratulation. Even now, plans are
afoot for a seventh studio album and another swashbuckling
world tour, adding to their tally of almost two thousand shows.

It’s easy to get swept up in the feel-good, hand-raising joy of a Tim & The Glory Boys show. Or laugh along to their well-documented Letterkenny-like hoser escapades. What’s most important though is that the British Columbia-by-way-of-Manitoba boys are making music from — and for — the heart.

Formed in 2013, Tim & The Glory — Tim Neufeld (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Colin Trask (dobro/percussionist) and Brenton Thorvaldson (banjo/guitar), call their boot-stompin' sound "canoegrass," a nod to both their bluegrass roots and the rustic country Canadiana the band have more recently begun exploring to great success.

This canoegrass sound anchors the band's new self-titled debut full-length album for Sony Canada. The album includes an astounding five songs which have already hit the Top 40 at country radio and have generated almost 30 million streams worldwide. “When You Know You Know” has received gold certification for total listens. The two-time Juno Award winners have also become mainstays at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards, having been nominated in 2021 for Group of the Year and Rising Star, and again in 2022 for Group of the Year.
