The Havinga Band

 

The Havinga Band is an impressive musical family from Abbotsford, BC that consists of Rick Havinga, his wife Susan and their talented sons, guitarist Justin and drummer Josh (also drummer for Last Day Lost). In the past few years, the Havingas have performed at numerous gigs in the Fraser Valley and beyond including Mountainfest in Merritt and other all age venues.
 
 
Members of this talented band were nominated for three awards in 2007 through the Canadian Association of Musical Empowerment and Opportunity. Though they are known for their solid performances of classic and modern rock cover tunes, the Havinga Band also managed to snag a nomination for Original Song of the Year. They have been openers for bands such as the Powder Blues Band and Merqury (Queen Cover band)
 

What makes this band so different is the fact that they started at a very young age. Being in there very young teens, Joshua and Justin, layed down tracks for their first recording experience and full cd production. The result was an 11 song cd called 'Knockin on Heaven's Door' consisting of covers and originals with their own trademark sound. This cd features some incredible vocal and instrumental works that would be considered by some as very seasoned accomplishments.

Justin is now working on his second solo cd release "The Watchmen" which should hopefully be for release late this year or beginning of next year. Both Justin and Josh have ambitions of their own. Justin is pursuing a solo career( http://www.mypace.com/justinhavinga). Josh is also accompanying Last Day Lost as their new drummer and has just recently toured all across the US. ( http://www.myspace.com/lastdaylost)

But while the Havingas pursue other exciting projects, they are presently getting air play in the UK, Italy and Canada with their first original 'Not Much Time'. CD sales and digital distribution are starting to pickup overseas and allowing the Havinga's to establish their name as an International Artist. They are presently independent recording artists and unsigned. For more information or if you want to hear more tunes, check out their website at http://www.thehavingas.com

 
They have cd's available on Itunes.", "Knockin on Heavens Door- Full Release" featuring 'Not Much Time' and other great covers.".
