Rebekah Hawker is an Ontario-based folk-americana singer-songwriter and storyteller. One of ten kids raised in Barrie, ON, she brings the warmth, wit, and honesty of her big-family upbringing to every performance and song. With banter that’s one part kitchen-table conversation and one part self-deprecating humour, her storytelling draws you in and leads you on a journey of honest intention. Within a single song she can root you so firmly in the story that flashes of your own life rise sharply into focus.
She’s graced stages at the Mariposa Folk Festival, Summerfolk Music Festival, Live From the Rock Festival, and opened for artists including Langhorne Slim, Dean Brody, and The Good Lovelies. This summer she returns to Summerfolk Music Festival following a celebrated 2025 performance, and makes her first appearance at Folk on the Rocks in Yellowknife, NT.
This summer also brings the release of her newest single, “Taking a Look In” – a song that continues the honest, unflinching storytelling that has made Rebekah a rising voice in the Canadian folk scene. Her singles “Ticket” and “Take Me Back” have received airplay on SiriusXM’s North Americana channel and her music has been featured on CBC Music’s In the Key of C, Indie88’s Weekend Café, and college radio across Canada.
