After years of skirmishes near the borders of roots, pop, punk and rock, prairie revolutionaries CAPTAIN TRACTOR combines it all into an unmistakeable, completely original, utterly infectious, and energetic pop sound (folk-pop-celtic-punk-rock, if you must).
More than 40,000 units sold. Each of Captain Tractor’s commercially released albums have hit the "Indie Gold" mark of 5000 units several times over, with East of Edson at more than 15,000 units - we’re sure it’ll go gold by the year 2010. In addition to the sizeable body of recorded work (see Discography and Hoserista Box Set), Captain Tractor has made six videos, all of which received airplay on MuchMusic. Captain Tractor has toured extensively throughout Canada, the US, Europe and twice through New Zealand. A folk festival favourite, Captain Tractor has graced the stage of dozens of festivals in Canada and the US, including the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, Calgary Folk Music Festival, Harbourfront Festival (Toronto, ON), Festival of Friends (Hamilton, ON), Folk on the Rocks (Yellowknife, NWT), Seattle Folklife, Calaveras Celtic Faire (California), X-posed Festival (Grand Prairie, AB, headliner all three years), South Country Fair (Fort McLeod, headliner five years running), Restoration Music Festival (Vernon, BC), Ness Creek Festival (Saskatchewan), Rocky Mountain Music Festival (Fernie, BC), Vancouver Celtic Festival, Calgary Stampede, Calgary Winter Festival, Klondike Days (Edmonton), Edmonton First Night Festival, Kamloops First Night Festival, and Street Scene Festival (San Diego).
