Band Members

Tim Maze, Tina Miller, Andy Wilks, Steven Sims, Wayne Burgett


Tim Maze - Strong Lead Vocal, and upgright Bass. Tim has always had a desire to be involved in gospel music. Tim has been a part of several groups plus had a daily gospel music show on the local radio station WRAB in our hometown of Arab, AL for over 20 years. Tim plays the bass, sings lead and harmony vocals plus handles the emcee responsibilities for Canaan’s Crossing.



Tina Miller - Very talented Fiddle Player since she was 5 years old. Since learning to play the fiddle at age 5, Tina has become one of the most loved female musicians and vocalist in bluegrass gospel music. She not only is a fiddle player and singer, Tina is an accomplished writer and has had several songs recorded by Canaan’s Crossing. Her infectious smile and enthusiasm will brighten any stage. Tina has become a crowd favorite and is a remarkable talent.


Andy Wilks - Guitar, Lead, and Harmony vocals with a great range from bass to suprano... Andy Wilks has been involved in Gospel Music since he could stand on a piano stool and sing with his sisters, Sonya and Cheryl. It was at a young age that he learned to sing harmony. Unknown to many, while his sisters were learning to play the piano, Andy was learning to play the guitar. Andy has a great ear for music and is very involved in the musical arrangements for Canaan’s Crossing.


Steven Sims - Mandolin. He has played mandolin, guitar, and sang at church and some other local groups for several years. Steven is a strong Christian and active at his church in Decatur Alabama.


Wayne Burgett - Banjo, and harmony vocals. Only a few lessons from his cousin Don is all that it took for Wayne to fall in love with the banjo.




InfluencesWe like a lot of the newer groups. But enjoy performances that not only include quality music but just a little humor to keep it light and entertaining. This would include the Isaacs, the Primitives, Doyle Lawson, Alison Krauss, and many others.
Sounds LikeWe try very hard to sound like Canaan's Crossing. We are fortunate to have two song writers in the band, and we try to arrange the songs we do to sound unique using our own style. Hopefully you will enjoy what we have done and continue to work hard to provide our own style of Bluegrass Gospel ministry and entertainment.

Our Recording Label Song Garden Music Group


Canaan's Crossing is a talented group. Their styles do lean towards bluegrass but there is a special quality about their music that sets it apart. A lot of you know that I am not a bluegrass music fan but I really enjoy this project! My favorite songs from this project are "My Lord Delivered Me," "I'll Be Alright" and "In Your Own Time." The project has great production quality and a nice selection of songs. You should get a copy and begin enjoying your copy today!
