Kensington Prairie began as the solo project of Rebecca Rowan. Rebecca is the singer/songwriter of Vancouver's indie pop darlings 'Maplewood Lane'. Kensington Prairie's debut full length album "Captured in Still Life" was released April 2008. The album was recorded, mixed, engineered and produced by Jonathan Anderson at Buena Vista Audio. Noah Mintz (Broken Social Scene, The Dears, The National) mastered the album. KP have already licensed 3 of the songs from "Captured in Still Life" (disappear from view, a million skies, photographs) to CBC's new television series "Heartland". A brief history: Rebecca (singer/songwriter), Nate, and Joel formed Maplewood Lane in the spring of 1999. Ryan and Alana joined a few years later and Maplewood Lane went on to record 2 full length albums and 2 e.p.'s. Maplewood Lane licensed most of their songs to film and television (Atom Egoyin's Sabah, Degrassi High, Life with Derek, Radio Free Roscoe, The Dark Oracle, etc). Maplewood Lane are still together...currently working on a new album (release date unknown). Joel and Ryan are playing with the amazing band Dawntreader. The world needs to hear Dawntreader! Joel has a solo project as well - he goes under his own name. While the side projects began to mount, Rebecca and Nate decided it was time to begin a solo project. They brought in the genius of Jonathan Anderson and began recording. Along the way they discovered Michelle and fell in love with her harmonies and mandolin. That brings us to now...we can't wait for what comes next! Kensington Prairie will destroy you will their gentle melodies.
