We have a new song out this week, “Hard To Build. Easy To Break.” off of the upcoming Such Ferocious Beauty album. If you want to dig further into it you can check out the Music Is The Drug podcast.
We are also back on the road this week so check out the tour dates page. We hope to see you out there. Enjoy the new music!
Exciting news….we have a new album coming out on June 2nd and today you can watch and listen to the first single, “What I Lost”. You can also pre-order the album on vinyl and CD and there are even a few limited edition coloured vinyl options, if you are so inclined.
The new album is called “Such Ferocious Beauty” and we’ll have lots more to say about it as the album release date gets closer. The new video was created by brother Pete and features our Dad as well as some super 8 footage of our Dad and Mom and family from the late 50’s and early 60’s. It’s an intense video for an intense song about an intense subject. If you want to fall a little deeper into it you should check out the Music Is The Drug podcast where Alan and I talked more in detail about the song and the making of it.

We have launched a Cowboy Junkies podcast called Music Is The Drug, hosted by Dave Bowler who wrote the Cowboy Junkies biography.

Unfortunately, due to the spiking Covid numbers in Canada and the US we are going to have to postpone our February shows in Northampton, Portsmouth, Ridgefield and Lexington. The good news is that we have been able to re-scheduled them for late April. Please hold on to your tickets as they will be honoured at the April shows. If you cannot make the new date, please contact the venue box office. You can go to the Tour page on our website to find all the relevant info on the new dates. Be safe. We’ll see you soon.
Tomorrow we are heading out on the road for the first time in 18 months for a short spin around the Great Lakes. We are nervous and excited and hope that those of you in the area can drop in and say hello. Joining us on-stage will be John Farnsworth and Jeff Bird. Here we go!
You can find all the show and ticket info here.
On Wednesday night at 8pm (EST) we will be debuting a performance film that a few of us got together to make over the last couple of months. It features mainly acoustic performance by three Latent artists including; six new songs by Margo and Michael Timmins; five new songs by Jerry Leger off of his upcoming Nothing Pressing album; and a handful of songs by Andy Maize (Skydiggers) and Michael Timmins from their Townies project. If you aren’t available on Wednesday night, the film will be available for 48 hours after the debut so you can watch it at any time (and as many times) in that window.
Tickets are cheap, only $10, but we encourage you to pay a little more and we will donate that extra to The Legacy Of Hope Foundation.
You can purchase your ticket here: https://sidedooraccess.com/shows/8LWXzL8Po02RhWlmUNLV
Michael, Andy and Jerry will be in attendance on the live chat for the debut of the film on Wednesday night, so drop in and say hello.
The numbers and number-makers tell us that releasing three minute and thirty second pop singles is the way to go, but we figure that everyone has a lot of time on their hands these days so here is a sixty-two minute journey for you. My friend, Andy Maize (Skydiggers) and I have been collaborating through these past many months. And this what we came up with: a bunch of music about childhood, and memory, and pandemics and guilt and responsibility. An album born of bad hockey, Covid, Black Lives Matter and age. So put on some headphones, take your streaming software off of shuffle, and kick two thousand fukcing twenty out the door. Enjoy!
