About this event

“…Hybrid musical style…edge of punk appreciation…this is an amazing album…a whole range of different styles” – Bob Harris, BBC Petunia is more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine Hank Williams on acid , if David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby that yodelled, or Tom Waits met Elvis Presley at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. These are just a few ways of describing the man known simply as Petunia . He’s an adventure seeker, a poker player, and a mysterious stranger. He’s been referred to as “The Saviour of Country Music” , and a man who exists in a different era, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten. Petunia grew up in rural Quebec , but currently resides in Vancouver BC , and works with several sets of sidemen across Canada, the US and Europe in addition to his own Vancouver based band, The Vipers . A restless wanderer, a musical historian, and a quirky yet amazing talent, Petunia is simply a Canadian treasure . Petunia released a new album “Callin Me Back” in 2025. “Petunia and the mother****ing Vipers. One of the best bands in the world today, of any kind.” – Phil Alvin “REAL UNDERGROUND MUSIC. Foot-tapping country & western laced with rock and jazz.” – The New York Post Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!
