Alberta Cross is a band that has etched its mark in the indie rock landscape with its evocative sound that blends rock, blues, and folk influences. The band initially formed as a collaboration between Petter Ericson Stakee, hailing from Sweden, and Terry Wolfers, an Englishman, in London during the mid-2000s. However, stakeholder changes and moves have seen Stakee emerge as the driving force behind Alberta Cross, with the band's base shifting to New York City. Over the years, Alberta Cross has been characterized by its expansive soundscapes and emotive lyricism, a testament to Stakee's powerful songwriting and distinctive voice.

Their music, including tracks like "Lucy Rider," "Born in Amazement," and "Never Gonna Walk Away," showcases a range that moves from introspective ballads to soaring anthems. Alberta Cross has a knack for creating songs that resonate with a sense of wanderlust and introspection, often reflecting on themes of personal journey and existential search. With releases like "Glow In The Dark (Stripped)" and "So Far Out Of Reach," the band continues to explore acoustic textures and intimate arrangements, further enriching their sound. Throughout their journey, Alberta Cross has garnered a dedicated following, captivated by their evocative storytelling and their ability to navigate the spaces between rock's rawness and folk's warmth with seamless artistry.
