More about Rural Alberta Advantage? In 2006 singer-songwriter Nils Edenloff, percussionist Paul Banwatt, and multi-instrumentalist Amy Cole came together to release their debut self-titled EP as The Rural Alberta Advantage. The ensuing years have brought two full-length albums (2008’s ‘Hometowns‘ and 2011’s ‘Departing’), widespread critical praise (SPIN, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR, among others), two Juno Award nominations (Best New Group, Video of the Year), the Polaris Music Prize Long List, and a hard earned reputation as one of the most impressive live bands you’ll ever see. It was through all of this that The RAA’s latest album, ‘Mended With Gold,’ took shape.

The Rural Alberta Advantage also just released a live performance video from the band’s show on July 8 at Massey Hall in Toronto. The video includes a performance of Terrified from ‘Mended With Gold’ along with fan favourites Luciana and Tornado ’87.  Watch the video here.
