Toronto Country Fest: Propter Hawk

Fronted by vocal powerhouse Malorie Jo Blake, Propter Hawk is a five-piece Toronto rock group whose cinematic, road-worn music is as fitting for packed dance floors as it is for the closing moments of a long night. The band is built from a formidable lineup of veteran musicians drawn from northern mining towns and big city boroughs, grounding their sound in life experience, grit and groove. Now back in their rehearsal studio—known affectionately as the “Loveshack”—Propter Hawk are heading into their next chapter. With new material on the horizon and a growing reputation, the band stands poised for a future that honours rock and roll’s past while pushing it boldly forward.
