Established in 2020, The Backsteps are a powerhouse ensemble made up of the lead vocalist Seth Hunt, bassist Luke Garrison, guitarist Josh McEvoy, and drummer Devin Pierce.

In 2023, they hit the circuit running, as they were invited back to play at the Whisky A Go-Go. Fresh off a wildly successful West Coast US tour, their debut EP Six to Midnight was released with rave reviews. But they’re not stopping there... Currently, The Backsteps are rocking through various venues around Canada, building anticipation for the release of their sophomore EP, Used and Amused.
