On her new EP, Quit My Habit, country-folk singer-songwriter Rebekah Hawker infuses stories of loss—of family, lovers, youth—with wisdom and resilience. Having established an impressive career at lightning pace through her late twenties—opening for acclaimed acts like The Good Lovelies, Rum Ragged, and Jim Cuddy; garnering accolades like winning Mariposa Folk Festival’s Emerging Artist Showcase in 2024; and gracing world-class stages like Massey Hall—this EP sees Hawker slowing down and reckoning with what really matters. Most of the songs on this EP were written in the sunroom off the back deck at her family’s house in the rural township of Oro-Medonte. “Writing here, it can feel like there’s limitless time to explore and play,” Hawker explains. Spending her mornings reading (finding inspiration in Linda Ronstadt memoir) and journaling, Hawker found herself with the sudden urge to grab her guitar and write, crafting quotidian songs in her distinctive blend of open-hearted country. credits released June 9, 2025
