Hawkin’s Revenge

About Me

After Wendy and Petrina met at the Maple Ridge Chorale Society, they knew there was only one option for the two frustrated performers. GET OUT AND SING! Now that the duo has taken their love for original music and created a completely unique musical genre that comes together with their sister harmonies, there is really no turning back. What started in the backwood bars of Maple Ridge is now a force to be reckoned with. When they found Wayne Evans, a retired pro bass player from the Vintage Vancouver R&B band "The Nocturnals," they grabbed him and took him along for the ride. You can find "Hawkin's Revenge" ready to perform and delight any audience, except for the faint at heart. The tunes are an original edgy blend of oldskool Alberta country (Petrina) and Vancouver street punk mixed with classical training (Wendy) throw a six string bass (Wayne) into the blender, add some of the best drumming (Billy McBeth) you've ever heard, and there you have it- Hawkin's Revenge! Always worth your time to come down to a show, and always performing...somewhere... .r{}Myspace Layouts & Graphics
