Alberta Cross

Alberta Cross are an Anglo-Swedish band formed in London and led by songwriter Petter Ericson Stakee. After a long stretch living in Brooklyn, New York, the project has since settled back in the UK. They signed to Fiction Records in the UK and Geffen in the US after just four shows, a rapid ascent that set the tone for a career built on relentless touring and slow-burn cult appeal. Along the way, Alberta Cross have shared stages with artists ranging from Oasis and Neil Young to Them Crooked Vultures, The Shins, Portugal. The Man, Mumford & Sons and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, while clocking appearances at festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, Fuji Rock , Reading & Leeds and Splendour In The Grass. Their songs have travelled just as widely, appearing across TV, film and games — from Californication and Sons of Anarchy to Dirty Sexy Money, CSI, Hawaii Five-0, A Million Little Things and Longmire, as well as Madden NFL. Alberta Cross have built a reputation for widescreen, road-worn songs that sit somewhere between American myth and European melancholy, earning a long-standing cult following on both sides of the Atlantic.
