About The Prairie States:
Mixing the cadence and rhythms of 60’s soul and 70’s rock with modern country, The Prairie States was born out of a desire to put a fresh touch on a classic design. As the Country Music Alberta Award recipients of the 2018 Rising Star, 2018 Fan’s Choice, 2019 Horizon Group/Duo Of The Year, and 2019 Video 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. 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 ACMA Album Of The Year and included three radio singles, which all broke the top 100 Mediabase Canadian Country Chart. With a stack of brand new recordings already completed and even more underway with Bart McKay, this band shows no signs of slowing down.
