HIGH VALLEY - CCMA Group of the Year
You might wonder how a couple of brothers who had to cross the Peace River by ferry in the summer and an ice bridge in the winter in order to bring their music to the world ended up with back to back wins as Group or Duo at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards, seven Top 10 hit singles, three gold record certifications, two JUNO award nominations and now, an international record deal.

Well, High Valley’s ain’t no typical record industry story.  Country fans are no strangers to the uncanny musical connection of a family band, but they’ve never heard anything like the duo High Valley – and that’s simply because brothers Brad and Curtis Rempel never knew how country was “supposed” to sound.

Growing up in La Crete, Alberta — more than a 40-hour drive from where they now live in Music City —Brad and Curtis were completely cut off from the world of pop culture throughout their early lives.  “It’s not that we weren’t allowed to have a radio,” lead singer and songwriter Brad, explains. “We had radios, but you turned them on and heard a lot of static from an AM station 300 miles away. When it was cold enough you could hear the farm report, the price of grain and the occasional old school country song. We finally got FM in our town when I was in 10th grade.”

While their upbringing didn't exactly acquaint them with the Billboard 100, it’s that insulation that helped cement their musical ideals and love of simple, classic country, allowing High Valley’s music to feel simultaneously fresh and timeless. Dear Life, their major label debut releasing November 18 on Atlantic/Warner Music Nashville, is an album that fuses tradition with wide-eyed musical exploration, stays true to their family-first value system and celebrates resilient positivity.

High Valley learned to become skilled digital citizens, building an avid fan base that is actively involvedin selecting the duo’s songs through the High Valley app and connecting with each other via social media. As a result, they have amassed more than 10 million song streams worldwide.

Likewise, they are the first country act to broadcast live on Twitch.TV in the United States and the
band has been selected for “Ones to Watch” recognition by Spotify, CMT and Taste of Country.
“You could say it’s weird that we come from the upbringing we do and make this kind of music,”
Curtis admits , “but if you analyze Dear Life and the messages on it, you can almost tell that we were brought up the way we were.”
