Petunia

“…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
