artist Tim Harrison

Tim Harrison is one of Canada's finest singer-songwriters on the folk and acoustic music landscape, whose poignant themes and vivid images reveal him as a storyteller of our time, anarchetypal traveller singing with compassion and hope. Hailing from Owen Sound, Ontario and now living in Toronto, Tim made his debut in 1979 with the appearance of the much heralded recording, Train Going East, produced by Stan Rogers and engineered by Daniel Lanois. Since then, he has recorded "In The Barroom Light" (1985), "The Stars Above" (1995), "Bridges" (1997), "Tim Harrison" (1999), and "Sara And The Sea" (2001), and "Wheatfield With Crows" (2002), all of which have garnered accolades at home and abroad. Indeed, interest in his music positioned Tim in the top 5 of Canadian folk musicians receiving international airplay on the folk airwaves in 2003 (tracked/posted on folkdj-l). 'Song of Thanksgiving' from "Wheatfield With Crows"" was published in America's premier roots music magazine, "Sing Out", and included on their compilation CD. Tim is currently recording a new collection of songs, "Grey County", due for release in Jan 2005. However, Tim's talent extends far beyond the recording studio, and onto the stage itself as a consummate performer known for his compelling vocals, intricate guitar-work and commanding stage presence. What's more is his delightful wit and uncanny knack for storytelling which make him an audience favourite.
