Rebekah Hawker’s music runs the gamut of country styles—from John Prine’s lore-spinning to Emmylou Harris’ honeyed vocals, Kacey Musgraves’ resilient sheen, and the vulnerable strength of Kathleen Edwards. Whether she’s penning powerful ballads or full-blown 90s country bangers, Hawker’s songs all share a similar quality: you’ll want to blast them at full volume.

For the new single, "Taking A Look In", Hawker describes it: “You’re at a dive bar with no air conditioning and it’s the dead of summer. You should’ve left hours ago, but there’s karaoke, and there’s someone across the room dancing and singing and you can’t stop looking at them until suddenly, they’re looking back.

“‘Taking a Look In’ is a song about desire, that curiosity and also that intense pull towards someone you know nothing about but that you might like to be a little more familiar with. It’d cheapen the feeling to call it love at first sight because it’s actually something stronger and more potent, like a love potion that will only last for a few more hours. It's magnetic and there can be desperation in your need to make the feeling last... “

Rebekah Hawker has already established an impressive career at lightning pace; opening for acclaimed acts like The Good Lovelies, Rum Ragged, and Jim Cuddy, garnering accolades like winning Mariposa Folk Festival’s Emerging Artist Showcase in 2024, and gracing world-class stages like Massey Hall. This summer she’ll grace stages across the country with a run of tour dates from Quebec to BC and up to the Northwest Territories. Full tour dates can be found below.
