By FYI Staff

Pheromone Recordings has signed Edmonton-based Americana roots-rock group Altameda to the label roster with an album slated for release in March 2019.


Altameda earned strong notices with Dirty Rain, the quartet’s 2016 indie release. Then comprised of members of earthy sounding local bands Fight and Stepmothers, the reinvention as Altameda quickly earned them accolades, in particular with the title track from the debut release. Since then they have successfully won standing at numerous festivals and stages across the country and the UK.

On joining the roster, the band issued a statement that in part reads: “We are extremely honoured to be part of the Pheromone Recordings family. They are true music lovers who understand what artists need in this ever-changing industry. We are very proud of our newest offering Time Hasn't Changed You and we can't wait to share it with you all."

 Advance music for the sophomore set is scheduled for release in the next several months. 

Altameda is Troy Snaterse (Vocals, Guitar), Todd Andrews (Bass), Erik Grice (Drums, vocals) and Matthew Kraus (keyboards).

Kim Cooke, co-founder of Pheromone Recordings with Cadence and Fontana Records, describes his label’s musical philosophy this way: “We’re not limited to specific musical genres – Pheromone’s first four signings – The New Odds, Beast, Art of Time Ensemble featuring Sarah Slean, and Flash Lightnin’ – speak to its inherent eclectic nature. We simply aspire to work with artists and recordings that move us, and in the process assemble a body of music that resonates down the years.”

Ontario Country Music Festival Boots and Hearts Gets Cody Johnson, Thomas Rhett and Jason Aldean For 2024

Boots and Hearts, which bills itself as Canada's largest music and camping festival, returns to Ontario's Burl's Creek Event Grounds from August 8 to 11, 2024.

Warm weather might seem far away to Canadians right now, but summer festival lineup announcements are in full swing. Today Ontario’s Boots and Hearts festival announces Cody Johnson, Thomas Rhett and Jason Aldean as its 2024 headliners. The popular festival, which bills itself as Canada’s largest music and camping festival, returns to the Burl’s Creek event grounds in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, from August 8 to 11 next year.

Headliner Cody Johnson is making his Boots and Hearts debut in 2024. The Texas-born singer-songwriter has been building his profile in the country market for years, self-releasing albums before his 2019 major-label debut, Ain’t Nothin’ To It, which topped the Billboard Country Album charts. In 2022, Johnson had his biggest single to date, “‘Til You Can’t,” which reached No. 18 on the Hot 100 and won two Country Music Awards.
