Rose Prairie Romance & Last Horse Standing / Live at KPAC

ROSE PRAIRIE ROMANCE

Formed as a trio in the summer of 2015 with Ryan Sebastiano on vocals and guitars, Conor Okrainec on bass and Mark Bodner on drums, the band expanded its sound in 2016 with the addition of Ben Norris on lead and rhythm guitars and Dana Pederson on keys. In 2020, with Ben moving from the North Peace area, Daniel Smart (former bassist for CBC Searchlight Top 10 finalists Scarlet Sway) was added to the lineup on guitar.

The band released their debut self-recorded album "Renovations" in the summer of 2020, releasing four singles in advance: Closer, Take Me Away, Stay and Holding Strong. The album was recorded over a year and a half period in Fort St. John, BC for what started out as a "let's record these songs before we forget them" project which eventually found its way to a CD, Vinyl and Digital release.

Citing a wide range of influences from Houndmouth and Shakey Graves to Banner Pilot and Tom Petty, the band has a sound that mixes rock, groove and feel into their own distinct musical vibe. They are well known in their local music scene as a band that delivers a consistently entertaining and diverse live set, whether playing fully plugged in or dialing back the volume for an intimate acoustic performance.  Over the years the band has performed at a number of local festivals including Canola Fest, Northern Groove Fest, Dawson Creek's Big Chill, the North Vale Music Festival, Peace Valley Folk Festival in Hudson's Hope along with a few Canada Day performances thrown in for good measure.
