About

With powerful, earthy harmonies, rootsy guitar licks, and timeless lyrics, The Redhill Valleys emerged with a force onto the Canadian music scene in 2016. The three-piece Americana alt country group, whose name pays homage to their hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, is composed of Chelsea McWilliams (Bass/Vocals), Tim Allard (Lead Guitar/Vocals), and Matt Soliveri (Drums). The band doesn’t shy away from nostalgia, drawing influence from artists such as Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Neil Young, The Band, and Fleetwood Mac. After releasing their two-part EP, Travel Well, in 2022, The Redhill Valleys’ single “Anymore” garnered significant praise, including winning first place in American Songwriter Magazine’s lyric contest and receiving regular airplay on SiriusXM’s North Americana, CBC Country, and Tom Petty Radio. Nominated for multiple awards—including “Best Group” and “Best Roots Artist” at the Country Music Association of Ontario Awards for three consecutive years—the band has built a loyal fanbase, extensively touring across Canada with appearances at Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Big Sky Music Festival, and Cavendish Beach Music Festival, as well as performances in the U.S. and U.K., including three shows at C2C: Country to Country 2024, Europe’s biggest country music festival. Passionate about bringing music lovers together, The Redhill Valleys are also advocates for music accessibility, supporting programs such as AIFEC, Girls Rock Camp, and City Kidz in Hamilton. Now, with the release of their reimagined cover of The Wallflowers’ “One Headlight”, and original tracks “Making Rumours”, “Rhinestoned”, “Ready To Roll”, and “Make It Out Alive”, the band continues to push boundaries, grow their audience, and honour the music that inspires them.
