Heartland Country Festival

Juno and multi-CCMA award-winning band Doc Walker is back with its first new music since 2017. The single “She Wants What She Wants” will be released just ahead of the announcement of Doc Walker’s upcoming cross-Canada tour.

“She Wants What She Wants” finds Doc Walker’s creative team, singer/guitarists Chris Thorsteinson and Dave Wasyliw in top form on the song, displaying their trademark harmony, a heart-swelling chorus, and a modern spin on traditional instrumentation. The song also features OG member Murray Pulver on low harmonies helping to create that vocal chemistry so loved by Doc Walker fans.

Since forming in the town of Westbourne, Manitoba in the early 1990s, Doc Walker has earned 21 Top 10 Canadian country radio singles, eight #1 CMT videos and millions of streams along with 12 CCMA Awards (42 Nominations) and a Juno (7 Nominations total).


The band has also performed in every province and territory in Canada, and shared stages with everyone from Bon Jovi to Eric Church. This year Doc Walker is further celebrating the 20th anniversary of 2001’s Curve, its breakthrough album that spawned the signature hits “She Hasn’t Always Been This Way” and “Rocket Girl.”

In summing up that milestone, and what’s in store for Doc Walker’s immediate future, Chris says, “The plan has always been to create music that we are proud of and to spend as much time as we can out on the road playing for the fans.”

Dave adds, “If there is any silver lining to what’s happened over the past two years, it’s that it’s served as a reminder of just how much we love making and playing music.”
