Starfield
editTim Neufeld started as the lead vocalist and guitarist of the contemporary worship music band Starfield which he founded in 2000 along with his brother Jon Neufeld.
After releasing three independent albums and four albums with EMI/Sparrow Records with accompanying tours, Starfield was put on hiatus while each brother pursuing solo projects.
Solo career
editIn June 2013, Neufeld released his first solo album, Trees, which garnered him the GMA Canada Covenant Award 2013 for Modern Worship Album of the Year and the 2014 Juno Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year. Trees is a collection of worship songs written by Christian artists such as Matt Redman, Michael Gungor, Paul Baloche and All Sons & Daughters among others and has been described as "Matt Redman meets Mumford and Sons".[4]
Neufeld's first solo album, Trees, won the 2014 Juno Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year[5] as well as the award for the 2013 CGMA Modern Worship Album of the Year. He released Trees Chapter 2 as a follow-up on October 9, 2015.
Tim and the Glory Boys
editIn 2013 Neufeld formed a Canadian country and bluegrass trio originally known as "Tim Neufeld & The Hallelujah Glory Boys,” but the name was later shortened to Tim & The Glory Boys[6]
At the beginning the band included Colin Trask (drummer/percussionist for Starfield), Matthew Izaguirre (bassist), Jon Bryant (indie Canadian singer-songwriter on banjo, guitars and dulcimer) and Jon Mushaluk (stand up bass). Neufeld remained the lead singer and frontman.
Initially Tim & The Glory Boys was a Canadian Christian band based in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Later on it became more of a contemporary country and bluegrass band. The band is currently signed to Sony Music Canada.[7] Neufeld and the band spent time in Nashville in early 2014 recording with Starfield producer Allen Salmon crafting songs for Neufeld's second album of original songs, and a debut for the formation. The resulting album The Joy, which was released in September 2014 in the band's name. The Joy earned a 2015 Juno Award nominated for "Gospel Album of the Year".[8]
The band embarked on the Trees Tour in which the band performed in 60+ Canadian cities. The songs from the album Trees took on a distinct bluegrass feel when played live on tour with the featured use of banjo, dobro and dulcimer. Neufeld described the band's sound as "newgrass".[9]
Neufeld's solo album, Trees Chapter 2 was released on October 9, 2015.[10] Tim & the Glory Boys embarked on the Canadian Joyride Tour.[11]
This was followed by Hootenanny! in 2016 winning the Juno award for "Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year" in 2017. They also won two Covenant awards for "Group of the Year" and "Artist of the Year".[12]
Starting in 2018, the band released a series of singles including "Blessed" in 2019, "When You Know You Know", "Without a Prayer" and "Right Back Atcha" in 2020 along with "Me Without You" and "Bloodlines" in 2021. The band also released the acoustic two-song small EP The Acoustic Sessions in 2021. They released the single "Float" in 2022.[13] In April 2023, they released a self-titled album, which includes the single "Take Me Backroad" with High Valley.[14]
