About The Rural Alberta Advantage
The Rural Alberta Advantage formed in Toronto around songwriter Nils Edenloff, drummer Paul Banwatt and keyboardist and singer Amy Cole, who was later replaced by Robin Hatch. Their debut 'Hometowns' was first self-released and then reissued by Saddle Creek, followed by 'Departing', 'Mended with Gold' and 'The Wild'.
The songs are short and urgent, built on acoustic guitar, simple keyboard lines and Banwatt's busy, driving drumming. Edenloff's lyrics return to Alberta's landscape, weather and the people left behind there.
