Born on the wide-open Canadian prairies, The Porch Hounds are the brainchild of singer/songwriter Nik Winnitowy. Gaining traction as a honky-tonk cover band in the small mountain town of Revelstoke, the project has morphed into a country and rock-inspired Canadiana outfit. With all parts and instruments written, recorded, and engineered by frontman Nik, the songs blend the raw energy of rock with the soulful storytelling of folk with a twang of classic country. Tales of love, loss, and alcohol, along with the timeless allure of the wide-open road, draw listeners into a world of rustic charm and heartfelt emotion. So grab a bottle, raise it high, and join The Porch Hounds as they blaze a trail through the untamed wilderness of heavy folk-country rock.

Peter Reed is a Rossland based storyteller, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and manager who has always been captivated by the power and poetry of one man and a guitar. Peter crafts his songs by distilling stories of everyday life, love and laughter delivering them through a roots/folk lens. His acclaimed musical project Dirt Floor retired this year, leaving him with more space and time to revisit some older material as well as making space for new compositions.
