Tour Diary – Calgary, Alta (June 20, 21 and 22, 2012)
Jeff’s Golden Rule (see Dawson Creek entry) strikes again. A day off and two show days in Calgary so we all had lots of expectations about idly wandering around the downtown core looking for interesting places to eat and drink and maybe even doing a bit of window shopping. Calgary use to be a sleepy […]
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.

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.
Summer is coming
Summer is almost here….and we have a lot going on in the next few months: Our Canadian Tour in support of John Mellencamp starts up in a little over a week and it will include some stops along the way where we will be playing our own shows (Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Parry Sound, Sherbrooke). We are […]
The Wilderness – $5 special on Amazon
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 […]
