With roots in church choir harmonies and songwriting prowess built on an art-rock adolescence, it’s not so surprising that Rebekah Hawker ultimately found herself at the intersection of country and folk. Hawker’s latest single “Ticket” is a classic midtempo country song about two things that never go out of style, in any genre: broken hearts and broken dreams. She sings of bastards and radio play, social media and getting ghosted, but flips the script in a canny way, declaring a positive outlook despite the rest. Rebekah's accolades include winning Folk Music Ontario's Songs from the Heart award in 2020, being a selected participant in the RBC Music Entrepreneurship Program in 2023, and winner of Mariposa Folk Festival’s Emerging Artist Showcase in 2024. Her music has been heard on The Strombo Show and other CBC Radio programming and has found placement on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Editorial Playlist and Gems on VHS's monthly playlist. With support from Ontario Arts Council she is currently working on her follow up EP to be released Spring 2025. "Careful Women is a striking piece that showcase’s Rebekah’s powerful lead vocals and talent at songwriting... [Rebekah] creates a delicate balance between modern sensibilities while still having an air of nostalgia" - Canadian Beats www.rebekahhawker.com @rebekahhawker
