20 Willow

20 Willow is an up-and-coming pop-punk band emerging from Osoyoos, BC, Canada. Formed in April 2024 by Ethan Pearle and Nohl Dragseth, the band began as a project for an upcoming gig at a local gin distillery. By June 2024, they had teamed up with drummer Cohen Hesketh and bassist Ari Kendrick, performing under the temporary name “Solify.”

In September 2024, the group officially rebranded as “20 Willow” and began playing local venues, quickly becoming part of the growing punk scene in the South Okanagan.

In August 2025, bassist Ari Kendrick left for university, and the band welcomed local musician Phoenix Batyka-Michas as their new bassist. With their refreshed lineup, 20 Willow continues to chase bigger opportunities and carve out their place in the pop-punk world.
