Emerging from the heartland of Canada in 2017, The Prairie States bring a signature rock flair to their country sound. This Edmonton-based band, composed of Mat Cardinal, Jeff Dick, Mike Nash and Jay Der, is known for its authentic storytelling and high-energy live shows.
With twelve Country Music Alberta Awards, including Rising Star in 2018 and Group/Duo of the Year in 22024, and a 2024 CCMA nomination for Video of the Year2, The Prairie States are undeniably moving in the right direction.
Their debut album, Lost In The Right Direction, independently released in 2018, was nominated for CMAB Album Of The Year. Since then, singles like “Waiting On You” have climbed the Canadian country radio charts. “Rebel Phase” has garnered over a million global streams. Their latest single, “Not So Much No More,” explores themes of love, loss, and second chances.
Since signing with Willing Records/Universal Music in 2022, The Prairie States have expanded their reach, sharing stages with acts like Keith Urban, Brothers Osborne, and Lainey Wilson. With more shows and new music on the horizon, The Prairie States continue to captivate audiences with their energetic live performances.
