DARYL BAZINET
At first listen, Daryl may not sound like your typical country artist. His sound and style are all his own. But dig a little deeper and you will find those same age old, down home country values in each word he writes, sings, and performs. Faith, family, life and his observations of it. Daryl has brought together his influences from the worlds of country music and Christian Contemporary music to develop his own unique sound. Have a listen. You won't be disappointed.
" He writes the songs, I just hold the pen."

Eric Michael Hawks
“I play the kind of music I like and can be proud of. Period.”
While the very soul of country music seems to be for sale to the highest bidder these days, with elements of pop, rock, and hip hop swinging in and delivering plenty of “bro country” jams bound to leave their forebears turning in their graves, there are thankfully others intent upon holding the line and continuing in the fine tradition of the genre’s deepest roots. Eric Michael Hawks proudly counts himself among the latter and his uncompromising stance on making his music, his way, continues to draw listeners in who are delighted by the artist’s genuine country vibes and heartfelt songwriting.
As he honed his skills, Hawks added vital life experience to his resume, pulling up roots from his Clarence Creek, Ontario hometown and travelling coast to coast as a long haul trucker throughout the U.S. and Canada. The authenticity of that hard life combines with the artist’s adventurous spirit and results in his signature country sound.
Now Hawks invites you to take a long ride on the Whiskey Highway with him, taking in the sights and hearing the stories that resonate from his very soul. It’s a journey you’ll find yourself wanting to take again and again.
