ABOUT
Ask The Plain Dealers about their musical backgrounds and you might consider them an unlikely bunch of guys to form a roots-rock band. With influences and playing experience that range from outlaw country to progressive hard rock, the 5 band members have a musical diversity that some might think impossible to blend. Instead, this Edmonton, AB-based band uses these differences to their collective advantage, creating a unique brand of honest, rootsy music that occasionally twangs, often rocks and always leaves a sweet melody lingering in the listener's head.
