Rural Alberta Advantage

Today I want to share one of my favourite Canadian bands with you! They're called the Rural Alberta Advantage and although they now live in Toronto (on the other side of Canada), they all grew up in Alberta, just like I did.


Their first album, Hometowns, is 13 tracks about all the little things that make Alberta such an interesting place.


You can listen to the song "Frank, AB" here. The song refers to a mining town called Frank, which lies at the base of Turtle Mountain. In 1903, 90 million tonnes of rock crashed off the mountain and onto the town below. Approximately 90 people died. Today, the highway winds between huge boulders and the site is a popular tourist attraction.
