Our music can best be described as progressive rock, richly imagined, with influences from many styles including blues, ska, funk, and reggae, to name a few. We take our audiences on an extremely interesting musical journey, with dizzying heights of improvisational intensity coupled with carefully arranged musical forms to kind, welcoming compositions featuring relaxed tempos and approaches... and most everything in between! Like microcosms of our lives, there are many emotions and ideas presented in our music. We are a mostly instrumental band. While we can sing, we have chosen not to do so in this band... although we do use our voices sparingly here and there.

Prawnicle is a three piece progressive rock band from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, consisting of Brad Donkersley on guitar, Michael Kemp on drums and cymbals, and Colin Perry on bass and keyboards. After playing together for years in various bands, we gathered one night in 2013 to have some fun. It was so much fun, we started jamming every week, playing, writing and arranging music that goes how we like it. Through many triumphs and challenges, we have forged ahead, bringing our music to as many people as we can.  

We have spent a long time creating and preparing this music, and we love to share it with others. We play with all the intensity and care we can muster, every time. We have played numerous venues and festivals on Vancouver Island, such as the Queen's in Nanaimo, BC, and the Esquimalt Ribfest, and we hope to expand our listening audience g

We have spent a long time creating and preparing this music, and we love to share it with others. We play with all the intensity and care we can muster, every time. We have played numerous venues and festivals on Vancouver Island, such as the Queen's in Nanaimo, BC, and the Esquimalt Ribfest, and we hope to expand our listening audience greatly in the near future. We completed our first studio recording in December 2025, and look forward to pursuing as many more performing opportunities as possible!
