Too folk for country, too country for rock & roll, free-thinking Canadian singer/songwriter Tim Harwill ~ the Vegetarian Cowboy ~ holds to a uniquely demanding creative vision and delivers an authentic Americana sound of subtle power and simple beauty.

A visit with friends old & new, then home to Thorsby, AB!

The beautiful village on the Alberta prairie where I’ve chosen to hang my hat, a place for which I seem always – and once again – to find a greater appreciation each time that I return.  It is beautiful here, and I’m blessed with some of the finest neighbors  that a man could have, and [...]

For an Ocean cruise on the MV Caribou to the mighty Rock!

Home of perhaps the most storied people in Canada, and the tales told about the fine people living there are told for very good reason I’ve now learned! In fact I’m pleased to report that the real thing far exceeds the expectations built up by the significant volume of yarns celebrating the friendship, humor, good will, fine character, kindness, and compassion exhibited by the people [...]

Thru the heart of the nation to the friendliest place in the world!

To stop for a short rest here at beautiful Nova Scotia, home of the Bluenose and some of the best friends that I’ve been fortunate enough to make, before taking the ferry over to meet the neighbors at Newfoundland next week. Not to belabor the point, but I want you to know that I’ve not [...]

Across the prairies & around the greatest lake!

To a Caledon campground for a night of catch-up and laundry at the south end of the Georgian Bay. What a great couple of weeks on the highway I’ve had so far! Thanks to everyone who’s made it out to the shows across the prairies and thru northwestern Ontario this month, your support has been inspiring [...]

I’m making a number of appearances around the province over the next week or so, including a performance at [...]

2 weeks & 11 shows in AB & BC + another great review for TWMR!

Is the news that I’m sharing with you today, and I’m thrilled with it! While it wouldn’t be possible to name everybody without offending somebody due to them being missed, I will say that there’s been more than a few of you fine folks out there who’ve made a big impression on a certain hillbilly [...]

Just a short note to let you know that I completed a relatively extensive interview with Mr. Christian Lamitschka, editor of Country Home Magazine, a European country music publication.

I’m on Facebook!

I’ve been dragged – kicking & screaming – further into the 21st century with the launch of the Tim Harwill Facebook site earlier this morning. Developed and maintained by my eldest son I’m happy to invite you to join me there and I’ve included a link to the site below and in the column to [...]
