Intro

High Valley sounds like a sun-drenched afternoon in the rural prairies, where the tradition of the church choir meets the energy of a modern stadium. Their music is defined by a relentless optimism, anchored by the kind of telepathic vocal harmonies that only siblings can truly achieve. It is bright, percussive, and unashamedly wholesome, trading the typical country tropes of heartbreak and hard liquor for themes of faith, family, and small-town pride.

What sets them apart is the 'stomp-and-clap' bluegrass influence they inject into contemporary country-pop. While many of their peers lean into heavy rock guitars or trap-influenced beats, High Valley keeps a mandolin or banjo at the center of the mix. This creates a sound that feels organic and rooted in tradition even when the production is polished to a high-gloss Nashville sheen. The rhythm section often feels more like a folk-dance than a standard rock beat, driving the songs forward with infectious, foot-tapping momentum.

Start with 'Make You Mine' to hear their signature blend of acoustic agility and pop hooks. From there, move to 'Grew Up On That' for a dose of pure nostalgia. It is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who wants the energy of modern country without the grit, or for those who appreciate the technical beauty of tight vocal arrangements and acoustic string work.

High Valley is a Canadian country and bluegrass band originally from Blumenort, Alberta, a small community near the hamlet of La Crete. The group is composed of Brad Rempel (lead vocals) and his supporting band, Holt Stuart-Hitchcox (bass guitar), Raymond Klassen (Dobro), Clint Milburn (guitar), and Andrew Hemmerling (drums). Brad Rempel's brother Bryan Rempel was a member until March 2014, while younger brother Curtis Rempel was a member until June 2021. All three brothers grew up in a Mennonite community and graduated from La Crete Public School. After a number of chart successes in Canada between 2010 and 2015, High Valley were signed to Atlantic Records Nashville in October 2015. They achieved some success with the singles "Make You Mine" and "She's with Me" at United States country radio. They have three No. 1 hits on the Billboard Canada Country chart with "I Be U Be", "Grew Up On That", and "River's Still Running".
