Award Winning Canadian Country Band Tim & The Glory Boys Unveil Video for 'Bloodlines'
Canadian pickers Tim & The Glory Boys are known for their feel good, hand-raising, high-spirited songs that cross generations and bind communities. Formed in 2013, the JUNO award-winning, British Columbia-by-way-of-Manitoba act who were nominated for two Canadian Country Music Awards in 2021 for “Rising Star” and “Group of the Year”, call their boot-stompin' anthems "bluegrass-meets-gospel-meets-Canadiana." The band is currently putting the finishing touches on their new full-length album which will be released by Sony Music Entertainment Canada, their debut album for the label.
Tim & The Glory Boys, featuring multi-award-winning lead singer Tim Neufeld; Colin Trask (dobro/percussionist); and Brenton Thorvaldson (banjo/guitar), are born entertainers always up for a hoedown! Their recent single "Me Without You" has garnered more than three million streams and along with the track “Without A Prayer,” landed the group two straight top 10 singles on Canadian Country Radio.
On the heels of the success of “Me Without You”, Tim & The Glory Boys unveil the poignant video for the song “Bloodlines”, directed by David J. Redman. “‘Bloodlines’ is a song about family, faith, and legacy. It’s a song of hope for hard times”, says Neufeld. The band co-wrote the track with writer-producer Zach Kale (Gabby Barrett, Florida Georgia Line). “Bloodlines”’ contemporary production and heartfelt lyrics, illustrating the importance of acknowledging and thanking the people in your life who stand by your side and support you through difficult times, are complemented by Tim’s vocals and close harmonies. The recently released track is featured on Spotify’s All About Country, Top Christian Contemporary, Top Christian and Gospel, Country by the Grace of God, and Next From Nashville playlists, just to name a few, and is growing week-over-week at Canadian Country Radio.
If a sense of faith comes through in the music of Tim & The Glory Boys, it's no accident. Neufeld and Trask were members of the highly successful Christian rock band Starfield, winning multiple Juno and Dove Awards, touring relentlessly and winning fans around the world. Tim & The Glory Boys released two albums independently - 2016’s "Hootenanny!", which won the JUNO Award for “Contemporary Christian and Gospel Album of the Year” in 2017, and "The Buffalo Roadshow", which was nominated for a JUNO in 2019 for “Contemporary Christian and Gospel Album of the Year”.
As committed road warriors, Tim & The Glory Boys play between 100-200 concerts per year, including recently opening for singer-songwriter Tenille Townes on the Canadian leg of her “Girl Who Didn’t Care Tour”. There are lots of beautiful places that the band wants to go to spread their feel-good message. Don’t be surprised if they get into some shenanigans along the way either. They are, after all, a band who have (amongst other things) turned riding buffalo into a lifestyle and tried to play hockey (in full gear) in a swimming pool. It’s all documented throughout the band’s always charming social media adventures. “We call it blue collar humor,” says Neufeld. We're just trying to relate and be real.”
