Fensala Hall Concert Series presents TIM ISBERG Prairie Fire

"Steamboats and Railways, Love and Loss, Triumphs, and Tragedies"

The Canadian West is a land of legends, where pioneers and outlaws, heroes and villains, steamboats and railways, fur trade and rebellion, love and loss, and triumph and tragedy shaped the nation’s destiny.

Tim Isberg, a singer/songwriter, veteran soldier, and gifted storyteller, invites you to explore our fascinating history based on his acclaimed third album 'Prairie Fire', featuring original story songs that breathe life into the captivating tales of events and characters of the 19th century Canadian Prairies and Western Plains.  

From the arrival of the railway that sparked a boom in immigration and commerce, to the legendary scout Jerry Potts who aided the arrival of the North West Mounted Police and relations with indigenous peoples, to the steamboats on the Saskatchewan River that transported goods and people across the vast territory, to the letters from an early Mountie to his fiancée in Toronto that reveal the hardships and joys of frontier life, each song is a window into the lives of those who shaped the Canadian west.

Through his artful storytelling in Prairie Fire, Tim Isberg and his full band not only entertain but also educate, offering audiences a melodious journey through our nation’s formative years. 

Tim’s 2024 Prairie Fire album spent several weeks on CKUA’s Top 10 and several months on RMR charts in US and Canada. Tim's 2019 album 'Running on the Edge' was Country Music Alberta's Top 5 Best Album and his 2015 album 'Tears Along the Road' was Music Canada's Top 25 favourite albums.
