Petunia and the Vipers

Petunias music grabs hold of you and doesnt let go. His singing ranges from the most delicate youve ever heard
to the most powerful, often within a single song. With a piercing gaze, he will look into the collective soul of the
audience, and launch into some high and lonesome vocals that conjure up the ghost of Jimmie Rodgers. Not content with
mesmerizing the crowd, his tapping boot will propel the band into a snarling fire and brimstone rave-up as a wave of
frantic jitterbuggers compete for space on the hardwood dance floorhillbilly-flavoured-swing inflected-ragtime-goodtime-thunderously
rolling-one-of-a-kind-you-dont-want-to-miss-this-sort-of-a-show. Though he has a huge repertoire of music to draw from,
fans continue to cry out for the Petunia originals. He is a Canadian treasure that will soon join the pantheon of
legendary performers from north of the 49th.

together, they are one of the most incredible, enjoyable and exciting bands. Petunia and the Vipers are
irresistible, contagious, astounding and totally entertaining. His combination of rock-a-billy, swing, honky-tonk
and yodeling will keep the audience clapping and hollering for more.
