Montreal, QC

Becoming the first-ever Canadian member of the Daptone Records family tells you just about all you need to know about Montreal-by-way-of-Edmonton songwriter Michael Rault. Like his latest music video, Rault’s music is the sound of a truck driving down the highway with the windows open and the AM radio up. With a new album out just in time for Sled Island, Rault’s ‘60s- and ‘70s-indebted rock stomps are sure to make you feel like a flower child.
