The Hillbirds are an alternative pop rock band from Barrie, Ontario, with strong female vocals, reminiscent of Alanis Morissette and Sheryl Crow.
"Their use of solo trumpet in a pop band is an electrifying and defining aspect of the music [...] On stage, The Hillbirds are a pleasure to watch and hear. The interplay between band members is appealing and one senses that audiences of all ages could easily gravitate to their songs and live shows." - Douglas McLean (The Huntsville Doppler)
In 2017, Husband and wife team Nick and Nicole Duquette started performing as a duo while they lived in France. After returning to Ontario, they became friends with musicians from their church which helped form their 5-piece band.
The Hillbirds have had a great run so far including performances opening for Craig Cardiff and The Trews at Barrie's 2020 NYE Downtown Countdown, The Algonquin Theatre (Huntsville) and other music festivals in Ontario.
The Hillbirds are working on their first studio album and look forward to sharing it with their supporters. Stay up to date with us on social media or visit us at: www.TheHillbirds.com
