Painter is a Canadian rock band formed in 1969 in Calgary, Canada, by Dan Lowe and Doran Beattie. The band evolved from the Calgary-based band 49th Parallel, which was formed in April 1967 and named after the invisible line marking the Canadian-U.S. border. Originating in Calgary, Painter moved to Seattle in the early 70s to record their first and what turned out to be their only studio album. The album, simply titled InchPainter,Inch was released at the end of October 1973 and was eagerly anticipated. It's eleven songs blend a wide spectrum of genres, including country and jazz segments, all brought together by powerful harmonies and Lowe's rock guitar. This was all underpinned by one of the heaviest rhythm sections. The album hit the North American market like a ton of bricks.
