In June 2013, Tim released his first solo album “Trees” which garnered him the Global Media Arts Canada Covenant Award 2013 for Modern Worship Album of the Year and the JUNO 2014 Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year. Tim has been quoted as saying:
“The worship songs of others have always been my spiritual TREES, the theological and emotional pillars of my faith.
The songs from the Trees album took on a distinct bluegrass feel when played live on tour with the featured use of banjo, dobro and dulcimer. Tim has described their sound as “newgrass”.
During the course of the TREES tour the band took on the moniker “Tim Neufeld & The Hallelujah Glory Boys” which then morphed into their current name “Tim Neufeld & The Glory Boys”.
