Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Petunia & The Vipers aren't here to fit into a genre, they're here to blow right past it. Think Hank Williams on acid, Tom Waits crossing paths with Elvis at a dusty hobo junction. It's roots music reimagined, somewhere between a 1920s dance hall and a steampunk fever dream.

Louis Armstrong was once asked what his favorite kind of music was, and his response was simple; “Good music”. Petunia & the Vipers’ sound may not sit comfortably in one certain genre, but “Good Music” describes it well.

Petunia & the Vipers had a music video come out on Bravo Television of one of Petunia's own originally composed songs entitled, "Cold Heart Breaker" from one of Petunia's older Fredericton, New Brunswick east coast bands, "Petunia & the Loons". That Album was the #1 Independent CD release of the year across Canada on College Radio in the Folk/ Roots/ Blues category for 2007. Also out on television the following year was CBC's "Wild Roses" TV show, on which Petunia performed another song from the same CD, "The Cowboy Waltz", another Petunia original. More recently, Petunia & the Vipers had a song play on the CW TV network in it's prime time TV series "Supernatural".
