Hey ho
Here comes one of those cats fully, entirely out of the bag! A new single! Oh, and while I’m at it, how about some European tourdates, too! …and Newfoundland!
International Record Store Day Release!!!
Ever a fan of those black spinning discs since my first New Kids on the Block purchases (sad but true), I’m really happy to be putting out my own 7 inch single for International Record Store Day (April 20). Tendrils is a live collaboration with a couple of my favourite acts – Clogs and My Brightest Diamond, recorded at Halifax’s St. Matthew’s Church last year, and features the B Side Onwards - a track that has previously only existed in cassette form. The single comes with a postcard with artwork by album artist Sydney Smith and a companion digital 7 track album with a mini chamber ensemble of Anna Plaskett (French horn), Devin Wesley (bassoon) and Gina Burgess (violin). To get ahold of a copy, head down to your local record store, and put an order in assoonaspossible! These will only be available in Canada for now, but you’ll be able to mail order from the label website the following Tuesday.
…oh, you want to listen to it?
European Tour Dates
I shall then take those records, hop on a plane and cross that pond again. There’s lots to be excited about on this tour – my first Czech show, returns to some of my favourite spots (Mainz, I’m looking at you!) but top of the list is (another!?!?) dream come true sharing a stage with the Notwist at Maifeld Derby!!! See you out there! And as always, if you know folks in these towns, send ‘em along!

So, I’m very happy to announce that PBS has just been added to the bill of the amazing Devon Sproule’s show at the Tranzac next Wednesday, so all you Torontonians get to see me when I come to town after all!

So, yesterday I had a mailing list email all written out and ready to go, and was about to send it off when I got a message with this little link. Notice anything interesting? For those that don’t feel like clicking, or need a little background, none-other than ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris, presenter of the classic BBC TV music series the Old Grey Whistle Test played a PBS track on BBC Radio 2 last month!
Now, on with the old show…
…just a quick update to announce some upcoming shows across Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland. Continue reading →
