Eastward Bound....

Vintage Truck Stage We Played on in Altona, Manitoba
Howdy Folks... greetings from Thunder Bay on our second spin through the Lakehead on our way back from adventures in Winnipeg and rural Manitoba last week.. had a blast up at the Trout Forest Music Festival in Ear Falls, some great gigs in Winnipeg at Times Change(d) and Le Garage and we're here for a stopover show opening a secret post-waterfront concert for The Sheepdogs at the Black Pirate... 


This week we head back south for a show on Friday, August 26th at Fanshawe Pioneer Village as part of their summer concert series, and round off our tour with a grande finale in Sauble Beach at Two Chicks Cafe on August 27th... 


You Know You've Made It When...

See you back in the semi-southlands... back in Windsor for some fall shows coming up!

Across The North Shore - The Giant Wakes!



Howdy Folks... greetings from high atop The Apollo hanging out in the band room before our show tonight here in Thunder Bay.. the giant himself is still sleeping in our sights on the T-Bay waterfront.. will tonight's ruckus raise him to his feet..????  We've had a blast all along the north shore of Superior making great new friends along the way and sharing the stage with Will Gillespie in Sudbury, Cody McMillan, Brad Example, and Greg Callaghan in Sault Ste Marie, and on to Wawa at Naturally Superior Adventures, at the parking lot of Pizza Hut in Marathon and at Serendipity Gardens in Rossport (you can buy my CDs there!).  

Live From The Rock was incredible - big thanks to Jennifer Ives and Co. and all the volunteers on a fantastic festival.. sharing the stage with O My Darling, Harlan Pepper and Amanda Rheaume and Marc Charron ... check out Amanda & Marc's tour blog at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q10pxNCrIc..

We're off to Atikokan tomorrow and head for the Trout Forest Music Festival on Friday - onwards to Winnipeg from there..!
Here's some photos of our adventures so far - again big thanks to the ONTARIO ARTS COUNCIL Ontario Touring Program for help along the highway!!
