Rare Americans

Band

Since debuting in 2018, Rare Americans have released four full lengths including their sophomore album Rare Americans 2 which landed a spot on Billboard’s Top 100 chart and features their JUNO-award winning song “Brittle Bones Nicky” off the soundtrack for Scoob! The Movie. Amassing over 500 million streams and more than 875K YouTube subscribers for their all-in melodicism and narrative-driven animated videos, Rare Americans have made a name for themselves with the use of visual media to tell the gripling stories behind their songs that have reached audiences globally. Hailing from Vancouver, BC, frontman James Priestner and his brother Jared formed the band on an impromptu trip to the Caribbean. The band now consists of guitarists Lubo Ivan & Jan Cajka, and drummer Duran Ritz.
