Altameda

Altameda is a Canadian folk-rock and alternative country duo, consisting of singer-songwriter Troy Snaterse and drummer Erik Grice.[1] They are most noted for their 2022 album Born Losers, which was a shortlisted Juno Award nominee for Adult Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2023.[2]

The group was first formed in the mid-2010s in Edmonton, Alberta, when Snaterse recruited several friends to assist in recording what was originally intended as a solo album.[3] The other two original members were keyboardist Matthew Kraus and bassist Todd Andrews.[3] Choosing instead to proceed as a full band, they released their debut album Dirty Rain in 2016.[4] They followed up in 2019 with the album Time Hasn't Changed You.[5]

Snaterse and Grice moved to Toronto, Ontario. in 2020, opting to continue as a duo after Kraus and Andrews chose not to follow. Born Losers, their third album, was released in April 2022,[6] and was followed in October by Born Losers Live, an EP of several live performances from the album's supporting concert tour.[7]
