Altameda Live in Edmonton July 1st 2018

Last Sunday my buddy Buzzard and I checked out local rockers Altameda play at the Legislature Grounds as part of the Canada Day celebrations. This was my sixth time seeing Altameda play live and again they were incredible. Like I have said many times before this is a must see band if you are a fan of rock n' roll in the style of The Boss, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams and such. I have wrote about these guys more then a few times in the past two years.

They were the first band of the day on the Alberta Discovered stage and had a really good turnout for their performance which was great to see, well deserved. Their hour long set was rocking from start to finish and the crowd that was there were digging them from what I could tell. The band just recently sold out of their first LP Dirty Rain on vinyl, but of course it is still available through their Bandcamp page. The band currently have a new album ready to release and are hoping for a late summer, early fall release, as they are shopping it around to labels.

Watch for Altameda in your area as they are doing the summer festival circuit with upcoming dates on July 14th in Vancouver at the Red Truck Stop Brewery Concert Series in Vancouver Saturday July 14th, and two dates in Calgary Sunday July 15th at the Calgary Stampede and then again on Saturday July 28th and Sunday July 29th at the Calgary Folk Music Festival.
