Event information

THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE

The Rural Alberta Advantage's percussive folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak have taken the trio from humble recognition amongst indie rock die-hards as "Canada's best unsigned band" to sold-out tours and devoted fans around the world. They sing about summers in the Rockies and winters on the farm, ice breakups in the spring time and the oil boom's charm, the mine workers on compressed, the equally depressed, the city's slow growth and the country's wild rose, but mostly the songs just try to embrace the advantage of growing up in Alberta, Canada. It's no surprise that the band's heartfelt and earnest approach to songwriting produced an extremely enjoyable and lovable debut album "Hometowns" and are set to follow it up with "Departing" on March 1, bringing closure to the exploration of themes of love, loss and leaving, "Departing" contains ten songs about growing up and moving on. Here the RAA further refine their exuberant gui!
tar work; intricate percussion; everything-on-the-table, earnest vocals; and infectious, keyboard-sprinkled arrangements that have won the adoration of critics and fans alike.
