Hailing from Owen Sound 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, prod. Essig), The Stars Above (1995, prod. Kane), Bridges (1997, self), Tim Harrison (1999), and Sara And The Sea (2001), all of which have garnered accolades at home and abroad. Harrison's new CD, "Wheatfield With Crows" (Dec, 2002) is sure to enjoy the same reception with his stirring ballads and outstanding instrumentation.
Tim is also a consummate performer known for his compelling singing, and masterful guitar playing. What's more is his delightful wit and uncanny knack for storytelling which make him an audience favorite.
Enthusiastic response to his recordings and performance has led to tours across Canada, the United States, and the UK, and forays into mainland Europe and Australia are in the works.
Tim's celebration of traditional and contemporary folk music is also found in his earlier work as artistic director. He was the founding artistic director of the Summerfolk Music and Crafts Festival (Owen Sound), and has been the artistic director of the Mariposa Festival, the highly acclaimed "urban" folk festival, Northwinds, and the Eaglewood Folk Festival. His artistic vision earned him respect across the country as one of Canada's foremost artistic directors and creators.
In addition to his poetic compositions, Tim Harrison renders a powerful performance of "There But For Fortune" (Phil Ochs), a delightful (and bassett hound-inspired) instrumental, "Watson Goes To The Park"; a musical offering of one of his favourite poems, "Sea-fever" by John Masefield, as well as new arrangements to "The Song of Wandering Aengus" (poem by W.B. Yeats - music: trad/Judy Collins/Dave Van Ronk).
The album features Harrison on guitar, mandolin, bass & vocals, Sahra Featherstone (celtic harp), Tom Leighton (accordion), Liane de Lotbiniere (vocals), Paul Mills aka Curly Boy Stubbs (guitar), and Chris Whiteley (harmonica).
