North of Northwest Wishes You Celebrates Canada Day, In Song

The Rural Alberta Advantage - "Edmonton" - HearYa Live Session 4/1/09
I generally spending my time introducing you to Canadian musicians whose work I love and admire.

The Rural Alberta Advantage – Edmonton

The Rural Alberta Advantage - "Edmonton" - HearYa Live Session 4/1/09
I opted to re-listen to Nils Edenloff's opus Hometowns during my bi-monthly trek from Calgary to Edmonton this weekend. Driving across the prairies on a road you've driven you're entire life down does well to enhance the already abundant sense of nostalgia dripping from The Rural Alberta Advantage's gorgeous debut. Edmonton is the setup track to [...]

I'm A Connector, re: The RAA

I'm A Connector, re: The RAA The Rural Alberta Advantage have had a terrific year (even if you still don't know who they are), they were featured on this website (which I've never been to) eMusic - apparently a big deal, they've played a bunch of shows all over the place, they've been on ABC (like, the TV network), and they've been signed to Saddle Creek Records (Bright Eyes, Tokyo Police Club). This, IMHO, is a little ways from playing in front of me, Liz, and possibly 5 other people at the Alex P. Keaton (London, On) last March [...]
