⭐ Petunia and the Vipers ⭐
Listen: https://youtu.b e/Gh9p9MCj1TM?si=2QMbEJNa1VzqE-Rt
After touring for the past dec ade to the UK, Canada and parts of the USA, world acclaimed Petunia and th e Vipers make another breakout tour, with their last four album releases a ll going to #1 on the Canadian Folk/Blues/Americana charts. Louis Armstron g was once asked what his favorite kind of music was, and his response was simple; “Good music”. Petunia & the Vipers’ sound may not sit comfort ably in one certain genre, but “Good Music” describes it well. Together wi th his band the Vipers they play original music combining elements of clas sic 1920’s, 30’s 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s country, country blues, wester n swing, alt country rock, Mexicana, French cabaret, Romanian, ragtime, ja zz, punk and folk music’s. A new music that springboards off of music of t he past and jumps into the present day, left with only echoes of the past… Something in between 1920’s and steam punk.
Petunia is no stranger to being a “road dog”. He’s spent most of the last 23 years crisscrossing sections of Europe, North and South America, playing his old hobo haunts, hitch hiking junctions, street corners, dive bars, churches and run down t heatres. He’s more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby, that yodele d… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. This is jus t one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia. He’s an adventur e seeker, a poker player, and a mysterious stranger. He’s been referred t o as “The Savior of Country Music”, and a man who exists in a different er a, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgo tten. A restless wanderer, a musical historian, and a quirky yet amazing t alent, Petunia joins the greats from north of the 49th for his classic sty le and raucous performances. He is simply a Canadian treasure.
