BIO
Formed in Calgary, Alberta, in 2014, Woodhawk swiftly emerged as a formidable presence in the Canadian rock scene. With their debut album 'Beyond the Sun' dropping in 2017, the trio—comprising Turner Midzain on guitar and vocals, Mike Badmington on bass, and Kevin Nelson on drums—immediately garnered attention with their distinctive fusion of classic hard rock and modern stoner metal.
Their music, characterized by infectious grooves and memorable hooks, captivates audiences and has earned them a devoted fanbase. Following the success of their sophomore release, 'Violent Nature,' in 2019, Woodhawk continues to push boundaries and captivate listeners with their upcoming album 'Love Finds a Way,' set to further solidify their status as one of Canada's most exciting rock acts. With electrifying performances and a sound that marries nostalgia with innovation, Woodhawk remains a force to be reckoned with, poised to leave a lasting mark on the music landscape.

Press
Indy Metal Vault
“Their brand of this style sounds far more refreshing and has a modern rock ‘n roll kind of aura to go along, slightly ringing in signs of alternative influence. The end result is as if Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy had a child born in the age of Chevelle. With that said, this is immaculate.”
The Sleeping Shaman
“Violent Nature surpasses their debut and then some; the Rocky Mountain trio have harnessed the best of the past, given it a fresh coat of paint, made me smile and just enjoy rock and roll in its purest form…”
