High Valley announces new EP
The six-song project of brothers Brad and Curtis Rempel tells of childhood, family and love.
High Valley is previewing the EP with the release of new song "River's Still Running." Brad wrote the song with Randy Montana and Corey Crowder.
"When we wrote this song, we had no idea about the predicament we'd be in right now," Brad said. "But it's pretty true that if you can look outside and see the sun still shining, see the river still running... then you know it's going to be ok. We just have to focus on little pieces of positivity every single day."
"Your Mama" was written by Ben West, Josh Miller, Troy Verges and Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard as a message from parent to child. The song pays tribute to the duo's better halves. The official video, which stars the brothers as well as their wives and children, was directed by Emma Higgins and shot at Brad's home outside of Nashville.
High Valley offer bluegrass-infused country music. Their 2016 debut album, "Dear Life," produced "Make You Mine" and Top 10 radio hit "She's With Me," both of which have been certified Gold.
The track list is:
1. Grew Up On That (Brad Rempel, Ben Stennis, Jaron Boyer)
2. Your Mama (Ben West, Tyler Hubbard, Josh Miller, Troy Verges)
3. River's Still Running (Brad Rempel, Randy Montana, Corey Crowder)
4. Northern Star (Brad Rempel, Matt Rogers, Ben Stennis)
5. One Day You'll Get It (Brad Rempel, Derrick Southerland, Ben West)
6. Show Me The Way (featuring Jillian Edwards) (Brad Rempel, Daniel Tashian, Tenille Nadkrynechny)

CD reviews for High Valley
If there's one thing that the Canadian outfit High Valley knows how to do is to stay in their lane. The Rempel brothers duo is now down to one after Curtis amicably split from the band. The band is known for its unique bluegrass-infused contemporary country, and their sixth album bounces along playfully from start to finish. Thematically, the brief 37-minute, 13-song collection checks many of the country music boxes.
The title track is a banjo-driven nostalgia anthem about simple pleasures. ...
When Brad and Curtis Rempel began writing songs for their EP in the pre-COVID-19 era, the Canadian duo known as High Valley had no way of knowing "Grew Up Like That" would make a fine pandemic coping mechanism. The brief six-song collection is laden with tunes about family, love and good old-fashioned upbringing. The duo is known for its fusion of contemporary country and bluegrass. On this short collection, there is more gloss than grass. The production is slick, the melodies ...
There's a scene in the movie "Bull Durham" where Kevin Costner tells Tim Robbins how holding the record for most home runs in the minor leagues is kind of a dubious honor - it shows a lot of years that you didn't make it to the majors. Is that what being the biggest country band in Canada is like? High Valley, who've scored an impressive run of Great White North charting singles and awards, would disagree - Shania's a Canuck ,of course. And everybody's from somewhere. ...
