Studio B Presents: HomeMade in Alberta w/ Guests The Prairie States

Welcome to HomeMade in Alberta brought you by Studio B., featuring the rising stars of Alberta Country and their music!

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting The Prairie States about three years ago when they released their debut song Tongue Tied. Ever since then, it's been such a cool experience to watch them makes huge waves across the Alberta country music scene. 

I had a quick chat with Jay and Mat of the band for this weeks feature and you are also going to hear their new song, "High That I'm Riding!"

Out of Edmonton, Mat Cardinal, Jeff Dick, Mike Nash, Doc deGroot, and Jay Der formed The Prairie States in 2017 and immediately started writing songs for their full length album, Lost In The Right Direction. Independently released in June 2018, it was nominated for the CMAB Album Of The Year and included three radio singles, which all broke the top 100 Mediabase Canadian Country Chart. Since then, the band has released two more singles, Every Little Town and Low Life, both of which also cracked the top 100.

As seven time Country Music Alberta Award recipients, including the 2018 Rising Star, 2019 Horizon Group/Duo Of The Year, and 2020 Songwriters Of The Year, as well as 1st place in the 2018 Project Wild Artist Development Program, it’s proof that this Edmonton based band is moving in the right direction and they are kicking some serious butt. 

You can find The Prairie States on ALL streaming services and ALL social media platforms, so you don't miss out on any information or music from them.
