Rural Alberta Advantage / Hometowns

Saddle Creek

THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE was born out of singer/songwriter NILS EDENLOFF’s exodus from the province that inspired the band's name and many of the songs from their enthralling debut album, Hometowns. To cope with the homesickness and isolation of his move from Edmonton to Toronto, the shy songwriter penned a series of odes to his former home, celebrating the country's wild rose, the purple skies and the "deathbridge in Lethbridge." Joining up with drummer PAUL BANWATT, the two quickly formed a musical bond, with Edenloff's plaintive folk songs backed by Banwatt's raucous, razor-sharp percussion. Soon after thge the duo became a trio with the addition of AMY COLE. (STREET DATE - 7/07/2009)
