High Valley goes "Way Back"
The 13-song project, the group's sixth studio album, contains bluegrass-tinged country. The release will be the first since the departure of Curtis Rempel.
"Letting our fans behind the scenes of the songwriting and demo process was so much fun. We had the 'Way Back' album almost complete and couldn't decide which of the most recent cowrites should make the cut, so we asked our fans to vote on our socials," said High Valley front-man Brad Rempel. "I love knowing that this album is a collection of songs I feel very strongly about, messages I believe need to be heard, and jams that our fans literally chose themselves."
The song "Somebody Tell That Girl," drops today and features Christian breakout artist Anne Wilson. The song was co-written by High Valley's Brad Rempel along with Jason Gant and Matt Rogers and produced by Grammy-winner, Femke.

1. "Way Back" (Seth Mosley, Ben Stennis, Brad Rempel)

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. ...
