The Rural Alberta Advantage play indie-rock folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak, born out of images from growing up in Central and Northern Alberta. 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.

Congrats on being ranked number one on Hottest Bands In Canada Poll on i(heart)music 'Having reaped praise from just about every noteworthy music source over the last year, both here and south of the border, culminating in support of the mighty Saddle Creek label, the RAA are now mere steps away from being a household name. Very impressive (Bob Battams)'

Your music is wonderful. So much talent in one band. Love that video where she is playing keyboards and drums at the keyboards at the same time. Reminds me of Pavement slightly. Maybe I will catch you playing in Toronto. Take care.
