Tim Hus

Tim Hus has a voice sweeter than a Husqvarna chainsaw and a list of songs longer than a Saskatchewan fence line! Releasing his fourth CD Bush Pilot Buckaroo, his first on Stony Plain Records (an Alberta-based record label dedicated to being Canada’s prominent “roots’ music label), he joins Corb Lund and the legendary Ian Tyson on the label. A natural fit as all three singer/songwriters are storytellers who weave the rural landscape of Alberta into their songs. Both Ian and Corb are big fans of Tim and his music as he is of theirs.



Tim is very excited to be part of the longstanding legacy of Stony Plain Records. He hopes that this new album will open new opportunities for his band, reach a wider audience, and extend his growing fan base on a national level.



Hus can come at his audience like a runaway rig, while firing off image-laden lyrics with the intensity of a western gunslinger.



The new album features 12 outstanding storytelling songs populated by the rugged characters who define the Canadian frontier. From Northern trucking on the harrowing Dempster Highway to the indomitable spirit of the pioneer aviotors, from a heartbroken honky-tonker with the Vancouver Blues to a roughneck on an oil rig longing for his home in the faraway Maritimes, Hus’ distinctive songwriting masterfully captures the imagery on this most accomplished album to date. The album showcases some of Canada’s finest western musicians: Myran Szott on fiddle (Ian Tyson), Craig Korth on banjo, dobro, guitar (Jerusalem Ridge), and a guest vocal performance by Western roots upholder Gary Fjellgaard, as well as the members of Hus’ accomplished travellin’ band.
