Petter Ericson Stakee (vocals, guitar) and Terry Wolfers (bass), grew up in the UK and other parts of Europe, began Alberta Cross, and settled in Brooklyn not too long ago. Austin Beede, Alec Higgins, and Sam Kearney joined the duo soon after and expanded AC’s sound, which crosses Southern rock twangs, pounding beats, and heartfelt elements extracted from folk and country. The band recently played two packed shows at The Rock Shop in Gowanus and will open twice for the Dave Matthews Band in Atlantic City (06.26) and Chicago (07.08) – Read Meijin Bruttomesso’s interview with the band here.
