Bio

With Country music being the air they breathe, the food they eat and the song in their hearts, Banned & Outlawed’s authentic, down home ode to the country genre, fits them better than well-worn Stetson, and it’s winning country music hearts.

“Three Chords and the truth.”

Thats what they say country music is built on... And for the multi-award nominated Hazelridge MB, Canadian brothers, that sentiment is absolute fact as they continue to deliver their brand of blue collar, true country music as a way of life. Brothers Jon (Guitar and Vocals) and Daniel Hnatishin (drums and vocals) were raised on hard work, the outdoors, and country music. On a 100 acre farm just east of Winnipeg, Canada. And over the last 3 years through commitment and dedication, have built a genuine and effective brand.

They have 4 - 2022 Manitoba Country Music nominations in "Group or duo of the year", "Emerging artist", "Interactive artist of the year", "Single of the Year- Don't get Much Better Than This" , and of course Daniel has a nomination for "Drummer of the Year." 

Banned & Outlawed has been touring western Canada and has shared the stage with artists like "Aaron Pritchett," and "Dean Brody." 

Most recently have been down to Nashville, Tennessee to write and collaborate with American Artists!
