In this edition of Six Questions, we spoke with local folk duo, Kyra and Tully. It has been three years since their debut self titled EP garnered acclaim as a Critic’s Pick Best of 2006 in Toronto’s Now Magazine and positive vibes from Exclaim! and CBC Radio as they charted nationally on the Earshot [...]

Rural Alberta Advantage brings Hometowns to the small town

Rural Alberta Advantage played an intimate and enthusiastic set to a packed, drunk Grad Club this past Saturday. Kingstonist caught their nostalgic and soaring indie-folk tunes before Rolling Stone did — but it won’t be long now.
