Tour Diary – Abbotsford, BC – June 19, 2012
Back in civilization…kind of…..These days Abbotsford is a bedroom community of Vancouver. It’s all shiny and new and full of way too many strip malls, which is the downside of growing way too fast. But to counter that, one can hop in a car and in 30 minutes be at the side of a lake […]
Tour Diary – Prince George, BC (June 17, 2012)
The day started promising enough. Prince George sits on the confluence of the Fraser and the Nechako Rivers. So I headed out, on foot, for what looked like a relatively short walk to a river bank. Unfortunately, there is an enormous train yard between the town and the river and the only two overpasses were […]
Tour Diary – Dawson Creek, BC (June 15 and 16, 2012)
We left Penticton shortly before the end of John’s set and started heading north: 1200kms through the mountains. We didn’t get much sleep, the road climbed and twisted for most of the night, by morning we were still in the mountains, still twisting, still following tumbling rivers and railroad tracks. It was a sixteen hour […]
Tour Diary – Penticton, BC (June 14, 2012)
We packed our bus last Friday and sent it West, then spent the last past few days with our families preparing to leave them as they recover from surgery, cram for finals and struggle to finish up end of year projects. We will be absent for that transition in to Summer vacation, that beautiful rush […]
They are the champions…..
It wasn’t the greatest playoffs, although the first round was pretty special, but the Kings have really cool sweaters, so why not them….party on LA.

Amazon will be selling The Wilderness as a digital download for just $5 throughout the month of June (USA customers only). The album has received some very nice reviews: “…a gorgeous new album…” – NPR All Songs Considered “Each word and note of this album feels so deeply percolated and thoughtfully placed that it’s hard […]
CBC – Inside The Music
Inside The Music, the CBC Radio 2 documentary program, has produced an hour long documentary on the evolution and history of the band. It includes an extensive interview with me and Margo as well as interviews with a few of the people that have helped us along the way and a lot of well chosen […]
the Nomad Series Book – Clubhouse Subscription
Just an update for those of you wondering when the book will emerge…It is finished and about to be printed (we are just waiting on one final approval). Our plan is to have it in the hands of our Clubhouse Subscribers by early July (maybe sooner) and have it for sale in our store and […]
Unanswered Letter video
While we were on tour in February and March, Jeff put together a video for “Unanswered Letter” (off of The Wilderness album). The video is made up of images that Jeff captured while on that tour and then filtered through one of Mr Job’s more ingenuous pieces of software. Enjoy.
