The Redhill Valleys

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. Winners of Group or Duo of the Year at the 2025 Country Music Association of Ontario Awards—and previously nominated for that honour alongside Roots Artist or Group of the Year for three consecutive years—the band has built a loyal fanbase through extensive touring across Canada, with standout appearances at Boots and Hearts, Big Sky, and Cavendish Beach Music Festivals, as well as international performances in the U.S. and U.K., including three shows at C2C: Country to Country 2024, Europe’s largest country music festival.

Driven by a passion for creating connection through music, The Redhill Valleys are also committed to accessibility in the arts, proudly supporting initiatives like the AIFEC music education program and Hamilton’s City Kidz. With the release of their reimagined take on The Wallflowers’ “One Headlight,” alongside original tracks like “Making Rumours,” “Rhinestoned,” “Ready To Roll,” and “Make It Out Alive,” the band continues to honour their influences while expanding their reach and pushing creative boundaries.
