Currently based on Cortes Island BC, the Awakeneers are a nomadic tribe of multi-instrumentalist songwriters most of whom are siblings. The Awakeneers offer a genre-bending blend of acoustic positivity that orbits elliptically around the idea of folk music.
Segueing from a foot-stomping fiddle tune to a hip-hop guide to mindfulness, or a meditative love song to Mother Earth, their music centres around honest vocals with rich harmonies and diverse acoustic instrumentation. Awakeneers songwriting shines a light on life's big questions, celebrating the goodness of humanity and the miracle of life on earth.
The band was formed in 2020, but all members of the Awakeneers have played together, under various band names, for more than a decade. Collectively they have written more than 400 songs and have performed together across the USA, Canada and Europe playing for audiences ranging in size from 7 to 7,000 at festivals, conferences, concert halls, and folk clubs.
As an independent, self-managed band based on Vancouver Island, they have built a strong hometown following with a unique approach to music business that has included numerous local radio and TV performances, touring on a wooden sailboat, and giving away their music for free on their custom-built Awakeneers music streaming app.
