After a number of chart successes in Canada between 2010 and 2015, High Valley were signed to Atlantic Records Nashville in October 2015.[6] Shortly after that, the single "Make You Mine" was released to United States country radio. It debuted at No. 56 on the US Country chart. They have three No. 1 hits on the Billboard Canada Country chart with "I Be U Be", "Grew Up On That", and "River's Still Running".
High Valley's album Broken Borders was named Album of the Year at the 2007 GMA Canada Covenant Awards, while the song "Back to You" was awarded Country Song of the Year.[5] High Valley's second album, High Valley, was released in Canada and the United States on September 14, 2010. In 2011 the band won five GMA Canada Covenant Awards, including Artist of the Year and Group of the Year. Their third album, Love Is a Long Road, was released on June 12, 2012.
