Boats, Cars and Trains, Trains Trains!

Allison & Uncle Dan are headed out on VIA Rail's On-Board Entertainment Program aboard "The Canadian" this July for a 29 day ramble including five nights and four full days on the train playing songs for the folks riding the rails.  We arrive in Vancouver on Canada Day, and from there hop on the boat to Vancouver Island for 9 island shows... we need to rent a car to traverse the Island for our 13 days, and the most practical and economical way to travel the island is with a 'rent-a-wreck' pre-loved vehicle..!  But - we need your help, we're on a shoestring for this tour and every little bit helps - you can contribute to our "Wreck-less" on Vancouver Island fund at http://www.kapipal.com/wrecklessonvancouverisland - don't let us go "Wreck-less"!  Lots of great contribution incentives - free songs, free T-Shirts, free greeting cards!
Check out the full details on all our out west shows on the 'shows' page ..!  We end our tour with a grande finale on Canada's southernmost Island as part of the Pelee Island Music Series.. so from the far west to the far south!

I'll bringing along a NEW EP recording!  The Secret Identity EP is almost ready for your ears - four new tracks I recorded at Andy Magoffin's House of Miracles in Cambridge this May..!  Features some amazing work from Uncle Dan on Mandolin and Bass, Chris Crossroads on Banjo, Lonesome Lefty Houston on Fiddle, Scotty Hughes on Guitars, JJ Ibsen on Piano and Organ and yes, my first recordings with a full Drum kit by Marshall Bureau..!

 Hey - remember my infamous BLUE COUPONS..? To commemorate the ten year anniversary of the Pizza & Beer demo I'm reprising my coupon campaign - the Secret Identity EP will include a special coupon redeemable for the upcoming full-length recording.
I can't wait to hit the road and the rails and the water this summer for some great musical adventures on my fourth tour of Vancouver Island..! See you all out west....!!
