Product Details

Nadia Ragni's drums hit like prairie weather, and that's not an accident. The Rural Alberta Advantage built *Hometowns* around the landscapes and losses of Alberta, channeling small-town Canada into songs that felt immediately universal. Their Saddle Creek signing connected them to a lineage of earnest, community-rooted indie rock, and the album's word-of-mouth momentum proved that emotional honesty still travels farther than any marketing budget.

Thanks to their exciting live performances and gritty, honest songs on "Hometowns", this Canadian band earned a loyal following that began to grow. With no label or publicist, "Hometowns" caught the ears of bloggers across the country. They landed several festival and industry showcases (NXNE, SXSW, Halifax Pop Explosion, Pop Montreal, and more), and "Hometowns" became the highest selling eMusic Selects act in history. The band's inspiring DIY success story continues to gain momentum with glowing press reviews and sold out club dates in major US cities.
