Tim Hus is one of those guys that you can't help but like immediately when you meet him. What you might not realize at first though is that this lanky and affable songwriter has a keen eye for detail and a knack for the narrative. His songs are timeless
The songs Tim sing are mainly about miners, loggers, farmers, railroaders, ranchers, cowboys, oil riggers, truck drivers, fishermen, gunfighters, bootleggers, brawlers, gamblers, drinkers, and low down two-bit sons-of-guns.
Some accomplishments include:
Opening for and Backing up Stompin' Tom Connors on his Canadian Tours 2009 & 2010
2nd Album released with Stony Plain Records (Same label as The Legendary Ian Tyson)
Wrote the song "Hurtin' Albertan" recorded by Corb Lund – The album went Gold
