Today, Americana/Roots Band The Redhill Valleys mark their MDM Recordings Inc. label debut with new single ‘Long Way Back’ (MDM Recordings Inc. / Universal Music Canada). Written alongside Chris Gormley (The Trews), The four-piece collective comprised of members Chelsea McWilliams (Bass/Vocals), Tim Allard (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Danielle Beaudin (Guitar/Vocals), and Matt Soliveri (Drums) meld country guitar licks with powerful rock undertones across the latest single, offering a standout track that demands to be heard. The song is accompanied by an official music video directed by Zach Zohr that takes viewers to the set of a groovy 70’s-inspired video shoot, emphasizing the lighthearted personalities behind the commanding music. The band continues to work on new music that cleverly straddles the line between rock and country as they enter this new era of their career.
About the new single, the band shares “We love leaning into rhythms and riffs that have a lot of energy. Our favourite thing about ‘Long Way Back’ is how it felt when we first played it together; even on acoustic guitars during the writing process with our friend Chris Gormley (The Trews), it already had our toes tapping. We tend to straddle the line between Rock and Country a lot and we feel like this song does that and really showcases our love for both genres.”
The Redhill Valleys continue to work on new music set for release throughout the latter half of 2023. Fans can catch the band performing across multiple stages this summer, including this month in Ontario at Tall Pines Music & Arts Festival in Gravenhurst, and Burlington’s Sound Of Music Festival (see dates below).
UPCOMING TOUR DATES
June 16 – Tall Pines Music & Arts Festival – Gravenhurst, ON

ABOUT 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 four-piece Americana/Roots country-rock group, whose name pays homage to their hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, is comprised of band members Chelsea McWilliams (Bass/Vocals), Tim Allard (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Danielle Beaudin (Guitar/Vocals), and Matt Soliveri (Drums). The band doesn’t shy away from nostalgia and pulls 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 the American Songwriter Magazine lyric contest, and receiving regular airplay on SiriusXM’s North Americana, CBC Country, and Tom Petty Radio. Nominated for several awards, including “Best Group” and “Best Roots Artists” at the Country Music Association of Ontario Awards for three years in a row, the band has built a steady fanbase, extensively touring across Canada, with stops on prominent stages including Boots and Hearts Music Festival, Big Sky Music Festival, Cavendish Beach Music Festival, along with visits to the US and the UK. Passionate about bringing music lovers together, they are also advocates for music accessibility and are involved in numerous programs that provide opportunities for education in Hamilton including AIFEC, Girls Rock Camp, and City Kidz. The Redhill Valleys show no signs of slowing down as they head into 2023. Now signed to MDM Recordings Inc., they mark their label debut with their latest single ‘Long Way Back’.
