Rural Alberta Advantage
The percussive, stripped down indie-folk trio plays acoustic everything, but there's nothing quiet about them. Frontman Nils Edenloff sings in a strained yelp and plays his guitar like he's mad at it. The inspiring DIY success story of the Rural Alberta Advantage has continued to gain momentum and attract fans and followers, with a breakthrough performance at the 2009 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, getting the seal of approval from Pitchfork ("This band could be huge") and a nod as a "buzz band" from every other magazine and blog down there. More glowing press reviews and sold-out club dates in major cities throughout the United States have followed, and the trio of kids from Canada now find themselves signed to Saddle Creek Records.
The Minor White
Ranging from sunny 1960s harmonies and psychedelic prog rock to jazz, Vaudevillian jaunts and banjo-led murder ballads, The Minor White presents a variety of moods and sounds. Feat members of Lewis and Clarke. Scranton
