The Rise & The Fall is the fifth studio album from award winning, charged folk-rock trio The Rural Alberta Advantage released in the fall of 2023 and including singles CANDU and Plague Dogs. It was the first album featuring the return of original band member, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Amy Cole alongside Paul Banwatt (drums) and Nils Edenloff (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard). In support of the album and alongside the release of multiple singles, the band toured North America and Europe. The band is currently in studio and looking forward to releasing more new music in real time next year.

The RAA's music connects us to untold stories and an unpacked history we all have a part in owning, reflecting on, learning from and possibly seeing from a different vantage point: the overview effect. Alongside the series of new music over the next year, the band will be touring as they continue to drive the musical conversation with their fans, in real time.
