With over 20 Top 10 singles, Doc Walker is one of the most recognized Canadian country acts of the past two decades. The group
has received multiple Canadian Country Music Awards, including Fans‟
Choice, Group or Duo of the Year, CMT Video of the Year, Single of the
Year, and Country Music Program or Special of the Year. In addition, Doc
Walker has been
nominated for several JUNO Awards for Country Album of the Year, including a win in 2009 for the album Beautiful Life.
Even with several mantelpieces worth of hardware to their credit, and a
growing international profile that has resulted in three Australian
tours, the band refuses to rest on past laurels. “After a while the
„tried and true‟ becomes „been there, done that,‟” guitarist Dave
Wasyliw says. “With every new album we evolve to some degree. I think
it‟s exciting to go to work and not know what‟s going to happen next.”
The band‟s seventh album, 16 & 1, released in 2011, was a bit of a
sea change for the group musically, but still reflected the values that
have made the band enduringly popular over time. Now, Doc Walker
prepares to release their eighth full length album, which will include
the Top 10 hit “Put It Into Drive,” and the forthcoming single “Shake It
Like It‟s Saturday Night,” which will be released to country radio on
April 8th, 2014.
“Our music speaks to the pride we have in our
roots, and the gratitude we have to the fans,” says lead singer Chris
Thorsteinson, “and that is the most important thing. At the end of the
day, all we want to do is write a record that we love, and that we know
our fans are going to love and
want to sing along to.”
Doc Walker‟s brand new studio album will hit store shelves in summer 2014.
