Tim and the Glory Boys have had quite a busy year - especially the last few weeks, as they’ve been on the West Coast leg of their “Canoegrass” tour

Tim Neufeld, band founder and lead singer, joined us for our season three finale (another season finale….crazy), and we had such a great time sitting down with him.

Tim and The Glory Boys have won multiple Juno Awards and CCMA Awards, including for their debut self-titled album.

Tim talked about his own path over the years, having musicians as parents, and his other band “Starfield”, which he started with his brother.

Also - Tim and the Glory Boys were once called “Tim Neufeld and the Hallelujah Glory Boys”! It was just a little bit long if they wanted to be on the radio.

Tim and the Glory Boys have a new single coming….very soon! They’re also bringing the Canoegrass tour to the East side of Canada in 2025!

Connect with Tim and the Glory Boys on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube.

Lydia Sutherland has had a whirlwind year - or a few, to say the least.

This year, she released her EP pretty girls don’t cry, has written with some her favourite songwriters - and got dropped from her first major record deal.

Lydia reached out prior to the release of her latest single “Nashville, Nashville” to talk about her year.

In the best place she’s ever been mentally, with a healthy routine, writing the best songs she’s written, losing her record deal turned out to be something she needed.

We talked about the lessons she’s learned through this journey, the investment in her mental health, and what she has in store as she continues to make her way as a songwriter.

Connect with Lydia on Instagram and TikTok.

Sarah Vanderzon grew up south of Montreal, Quebec. Blending her influences and style, Sarah’s sound infuses folk, pop, and country music.

Being very shy growing up, stepping out of her shell has been a process. We talked about Sarah’s journey to the spotlight at center stage - even if she still hides behind her instruments.

In 2023, Sarah was a finalist on Quebec’s spin off of The Voice, “La deuxième voix” and was coached by Quebec icon Roxane Bruneau. She used this experience to grow her fanbase, increasing her presence on social media and releasing her EP “Same Sad Eyes”.

This year, Sarah took to the stage at Boots and Hearts Music Festival for the Emerging Artist Showcase. Not only did she make it to Sunday and perform on the main stage before Nate Smith, but she took home the title for the year.

We chatted more with Sarah about growing up, leaning into her creative side, “La deuxième voix”, Boots and Hearts, her adorable corgi, and more!

Lily got Alee to rank her own music (a tough ask, like picking a favourite child!), while Shantaia shared her experiences of singing in a hockey arena. The Hunter Brothers had us laughing as they confessed the “Golden Rules” they can’t seem to follow. Nate Haller talked about everything from camping to life on the road, and Dayna Reid revealed one of the weirdest jobs she’s ever had.

We also caught up with Brian John Harwood, Alexa Goldie, Kalsey Kulyk, and more, making this year’s Boots and Hearts another one for the books.

Dr. Jada Watson spent her childhood taping the Country radio countdowns so she could listen and teach herself to play them on the piano.

Flash forward to today - Jada researches representation on radio programming and popularity charts, evaluating the rate at which songs by women, artists of color, and LGBTQ+ artists are played on country and other formats across the USA and Canada (SongData.ca). Dr. Watson is an Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities in the School of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa.

With the release of her latest work, “Share The Air: A Study Of Gender Representation on Canadian Radio”, I sat down with Jada to explore her research over the years, zeroing in on the country music landscape, and how it is evolving.
