Emerging from Canada's heartland, The Prairie States deliver rock-infused country anthems through heartfelt storytelling. Their latest single, Feels Like Forever, flew into the top 30 at Canadian country radio and has amassed over 1.2M Global streams in less than 6 months of release. This followed up their 3rd album, Trouble Is, released under Willing Records/UMC, which has achieved notable success with two charting singles including the hit Waiting On You reaching #28 and has garnered over 6.2 million streams.

Led by Indigenous singer/songwriter Mat Cardinal, the band brings a fresh, authentic sound to the country music scene. The band's journey began when Cardinal moved to Edmonton and connected with guitarist Jeff Dick, drummer Jay Der, and bassist Mike Nash.

They have shared the stage with country heavyweights including Brothers Osborne, Lainey Wilson, Jess Moskaluke, and Keith Urban, earning a reputation for electrifying live performances and genuine crowd connection. With new music in the works, continued national touring, growing industry recognition, and a deep commitment to community impact, The Prairie States are entering their most exciting chapter yet driven by heart, heritage, and an unmistakable prairie spirit.
