After playing coffeehouses around Canada and the U.S., he got his own TV show, The Songsingers, on the Canadian CBC network. Hiway Child, his first album, appeared in 1971.

Manitoba's Rick Neufeld grew up in the Mennonite community of Boissevain. He studied Architecture at the University Of Manitoba followed by travelling in Europe and North America before deciding on a career in folk music. He started in coffeehouses throughout Canada and the US performing at the Regina Folk Festival and Mariposa in Ontario. With appearances on CBC television he eventually landed his own television show called 'The Songsingers'. His songwriting also became popular with other acts and he had a succesful hit in 1969 with "Moody Manitoba Morning" by The Bells. His own albums were moderately successful but he did land a hosting job on CBC with co-host Colleen Peterson for 'On The Road'. The highlight of his performing career was a performance at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

The album Prairie Dog featured Burton Cummings, Bill Wallace, and Garry Peterson, all from The Guess Who, as well as Terry Bush backing Neufeld.
