This Saturday at Carlson's on McLeod in High River I'll be playing pedal steel with Tim Isberg. Tim is an inspiring guy, and it's going to be a fun gig. Here's the blurb from the venue's Facebook page:
TIM ISBERG @ Carlson’s on Macleod
Saturday, Aug. 27 – Doors open @ 4:00 pm
Show Time: 8:00 pm - Tickets ($15) can be purchased in advance by calling 403-601-8774
Blaine Doherty (lead guitar & back vox), Al Blais (bass) and Bob Blair (pedal steel).
Originally from the province of Alberta, Canada, Tim is an accomplished singer-songwriter who is emerging in the performance scene after a lengthy hiatus from music to serve in the Canadian Army.
Tim brings well crafted songs to the stage along with an appealing vocal timbre in song styles similar to those of Lennie Gallant, Ryan Adams, Rodney Crowell, and JJ Cale; and more than that, he brings a unique and endearing array of life experiences and shares them in a way that makes each listener feel connected.
"Tears Along The Road" album in Music Canada Top 25! To follow up his early underground CD "Comin' Home', Tim recorded a new full length album with celebrated producer-engineer Miles Wilkinson and other JUNO award-winning musicians. It garnered a Top 25 Favourite Albums of 2015 status by Music Canada! The title track single was released to radio in fall 2015 and the album can be heard on several radio and web shows across the US, UK and elsewhere.
Tim's solid guitar rhythms and ear-catching songs create a style of his own where listeners can escape into the story behind the song. His demo song "Devil on Your Back" of turn of the century outlaws on the western Blackfoot Plains was a finalist in the Best Song of Alberta for the Calgary Folk Music Festival. In his years abroad, Tim was a favourite on folk club circuits and in group performances internationally for deployed military and civilian personnel where he showcased his own Americana and contemporary original songs along with his own eclectic mix of rock, pop, folk, celtic and country cover tunes. |
