Starpainter

Starpainter is a folk rock band from Lethbridge, Alberta, blending classic prairie storytelling with twangy country and gently psychedelic alt-rock. Drawing inspiration from 60s and 70s legends like The Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers, their sound is both timeless and adventurous. Their acclaimed 2023 album Rattlesnake Dream earned praise from CBC and AmericanaUK for its melodic, guitar-driven exploration of themes like family and small-town life. With their upcoming release Cayenne Flowerbed, Starpainter ventures deeper into psych-country, combining heartfelt storytelling with innovative instrumentation. Having played major Canadian festivals and toured internationally, including a recent tour in Japan, Starpainter captivates audiences with their authenticity and lush, memorable arrangements.
