Where to begin. June was fun. We played some fun shows – highlights were playing a rain soaked show for Enmax employees that eventually shut down the PA (looking for photos), and making new friends from Toronto, The Warped 45’s (you should check them out).
The 45’s happened to share something in common with us, as we both recently appeared on a July 1 Canada Day podcast by our great friends at Herohill.com; a tribute to the incomparable Gordon Lightfoot, which ballooned to an incredible 32 artists. Titled “Turning Back The Pages of My Sweet Shattered Dreams“, we contributed an energized version of “Circle is Small“. We are including the unmastered track here to listen, but highly suggest you head on over and download the entire 32 track podcast.
The Circle Is Small
AND JULY … July has some real treats. Finally a return to the prairies, as we take the long drive back to Regina, Winnipeg, and Inglis. Yes, we said Inglis – a very very small rural community just across the border from Saskatchewan to Manitoba. We received an interesting invitation to come be part of this small community’s summer series called Concert in the Annex, to be held in a completely restored annex of a grain elevator. Perhaps you already see the motivation to say yes. Some rural hospitality and delicious irony was enough. On the way we’ll make some stops in Regina to play The Artesian – a renovated church-turned-concert-hall. We should have called this the renovation tour. Maybe Rona might have sponsored us. We are playing with the incredible Andy Shauf, and its all-ages, so we expect a lot of Andy fans to take over. We follow that up with a stop in Winnipeg. Stay with some family, see some friends, play some music. Love that city. Go Jets.
So we can’t wait to see some of you. Let us know what you think of the Lightfoot song. Talk again soon.

Glen – Dad and I absolutely love this Lightfoot song. Does it ever show off the guys vocal abilities and the band as a whole! You need to include this song in your repertoire during gigs – it is really great for you!
