Artist Spot Light: Alberta Cross


Be sure not to miss Alberta Cross on the Main Stage Friday, September 17 @ 3:50 and later that night at the Sheridan Opera House @ 10:00 pm!

Alberta Cross are a New York-based band, formed by Petter Ericson Stakee (vocals, guitar) & Terry Wolfers (bass). Despite their different upbringings - Petter travelled from an early age between Sweden and England with his singer-songwriter father whilst Terry was brought up in London's East End - they formed what would later become Alberta Cross. After relocating to Brooklyn, New York, Petter and Terry solidified the line-up with the addition of Austin Beede, Alec Higgins and Sam Kearney.


The band's sound has been compared to Kings of Leon, The Band, Neil Young, The Raconteurs and other blues-influenced rock bands.
