Marc Fillion, Mississippi Blues Society: “On the eve of New Years eve, I saw the Maria Hawkins Band play to an appreciative jam-packed audience at the Rainbow Bistro (Ottawa’s Home of the Blues). Her show as a high-powered musical whirlwind of tempered songs that sometimes mixed raw emotion with mirth. I felt as involved as I did entertained. Marian’s strong vocals are the essential key to the great lyrical content and choice of material. If you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a real and uplifting treat when you do.”
