History

In 2015, the Edmonton Public Library unveiled its plan for Capital City Records and announced a call for submissions.[2] The library stated that the label would serve as "digital platform for streaming and downloading Edmonton's local music and recording our music history."[3] As a virtual record label owned by a public library, Capital City Records was the first of its kind in Canada.[4] Capital City Records was modeled after similar music services in Iowa City, Iowa and Madison, Wisconsin.[5]

In 2017, Capital City Records began showcasing its artist roster with live performances in Edmonton.[6]
