Terminal Station is a Blues-Rock band in the best sense of the word. They take the traditional blues sound and kick it into high gear. Their music is raw and exciting – full of fat bass lines, explosive drumming, risk taking guitar solos and impassioned vocals.
The members of Terminal Station, Liam MacDonald (drums), Jeremy Holmes (bass), and Scott Smith (vocals, guitar), and Darryl Havers (organ, piano) have been key players in Vancouver’s blues and roots scene for the better part of a decade. They have played with such Vancouver artists as Barney Bentall, Steve Dawson, Rich Hope, Ridley Bent, Buckman Coe and Jim Byrnes, as well as American artists such as John Hammond and Alvin Youngblood Hart
The Rocket Revellers play western swing, rockabilly, country and blues. Their live show is a true testament to their many talents.
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. Hank Williams on acid… Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s Hobo junction… Avant-Country night club scene music… One of the best bands in the world today, of any kind… hillbilly-flavoured-swing inflected-ragtime-goodtime-thunderously rolling-one-of-a-kind-you-don’t-want-to-miss-this-sort-of-a-show… A new music that springboards off of music of the past and jumps into the present day, left with only echoes of the past… Something in between 1920’s and steam punk. It’s good for your mind… These are just a few of the words uttered by folks around the globe trying to pin down a description of all that is Petunia & The Vipers.
