Slocan Slim & the Kootenay Kid - Tim Hus

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 well recieved CD Alberta Crude comes the highly anticipated third album Huskies & Husqvarnas - a collection of outlaw roots music featuring 12 outstanding songs about bootleggers, buckin’ horses, bulldozers and everything that is embraced in the West. From CB radio and truck driving songs about hauling domestic beer on the Trans-Canada highway to working the mines of Flin Flon to the lonesome lure of the North and prohibition era rumrunning: Tim’s distinctive songwriting and spirited performances by the members of his dynamic band stand as a cornerstone of authentic Canadiana!

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 music. Influenced by the likes of Stompin’ Tom, Johnny Cash and Ian Tyson, Tim has developed a style he can call his own. He is a true storyteller with his distinct brand of down to earth country and roots music.

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. Read more on Last.fm.
