“Tim Hus is well on his way to becoming an Albertan and Canadian institution."
Barry Hammond - Penguin Eggs Magazine
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
Influences
Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Johnny Cash, Ian Tyson, Stompin' Tom, Dwight Yoakam, Woodie Guthrie and Willie Nelson.
Tim Hus has a voice sweeter than a Husqvarna chainsaw and a list of songs longer than a Saskatchewan fence line! Releasing his fourth CD Bush Pilot Buckaroo, his first on Stony Plain Records (an Alberta-based record label dedicated to being Canada’s prominent “roots’ music label), he joins Corb Lund and the legendary Ian Tyson on the label. A natural fit as all three singer/songwriters are storytellers who weave the rural landscape of Alberta into their songs. Both Ian and Corb are big fans of Tim and his music as he is of theirs.
Tim is very excited to be part of the longstanding legacy of Stony Plain Records. He hopes that this new album will open new opportunities for his band, reach a wider audience, and extend his growing fan base on a national level.
Hus can come at his audience like a runaway rig, while firing off image-laden lyrics with the intensity of a western gunslinger.
The new album features 12 outstanding storytelling songs populated by the rugged characters who define the Canadian frontier. From Northern trucking on the harrowing Dempster Highway to the indomitable spirit of the pioneer aviotors, from a heartbroken honky-tonker with the Vancouver Blues to a roughneck on an oil rig longing for his home in the faraway Maritimes, Hus’ distinctive songwriting masterfully captures the imagery on this most accomplished album to date. The album showcases some of Canada’s finest western musicians: Myran Szott on fiddle (Ian Tyson), Craig Korth on banjo, dobro, guitar (Jerusalem Ridge), and a guest vocal performance by Western roots upholder Gary Fjellgaard, as well as the members of Hus’ accomplished travellin’ band.
I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

Tim my mother and I went down to Belleville and up to Ottawa to see you and Tom playin the geetars, and even though we're not Canadian we enjoyed it just the same. I'm playin along with all your tunes and getting geography lessons listening to you and Tom sing about places I've never heard of and places I may never visit, but then again, I might after hearing these stories.
I grew up on the border and had a view of Canada most of my life right out the bedroom window. And the folks in the Adirondacks would appreciate your music as much as the folks in Northern Washington State or Maine, so you should point your rig south and come over into the mountains, I swear we wont force you to stay.
Hey Tim Just flying by to say Hi! Hope you are keeping busy travelling down the road. Hope you get back to BC again soon. Need some more good country music. Patricia
My debut single ROLLIN' IN THE HEY is currently #83 on the Music Row Breakout Chart and is poised to move into the top 75 WITH A BULLET!!!. Request it at your local radio station today and CLICK ON THE ALBUM COVER BELOW TO BUY THE ENTIRE CD FOR A LIMITED TIME FOR ONLY $5.00.
CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
