The 2019 incarnation of the Project WILD - Country Artist Development Program marks the sixth year of this incredible program, and the fourth year under this name. Thanks to a seven year, $4.9 million dollar commitment from the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group, each year 12 Alberta-based artists are accepted into the Project WILD program and given a life-changing opportunity to develop as artists and level-up their careers. As part of the program artists are brought to RockRidge Canyon in Princeton, BC for an intense week of bootcamp. During camp the artists learn from leading industry experts about the business of music during the day and spend each night in intense writing and recording sessions with one another and top-notch producers and studio musicians. This year, the top 12 artists were paired up and given the theme ‘Calling me Back Again’ to inspire their songwriting. These recordings are the result of those late night recording sessions and are a testament to the incredible quality of artists that call Alberta home.
