More Than A Hero – Release Shows Update

More Than A Hero is ready to launch into the world on October 22nd, 2013 – that’s just under three weeks!!! To celebrate here are a series of CD Launch parties across Ontario (with a wee dip into Quebec.) Plus, I’m playing an industry showcase in a couple of weeks that sounds dry but promises to be an great night/weekend of music.

If you’re looking for tickets for Oakville, Toronto or Dundas you can get them here:

[**EDIT 10/6: Two new dates in Peterborough, new venue in Sault Saint Marie]

Sat Oct 19: Mississauga, ON (Folk Music Ontario Official Showcase)
I am one of 24 performers specially selected to showcase at this music industry conference. My showcase is 8:45pm. (I will also be performing a series of private late night showcases Fri & Sat.) General public can buy wristbands for $20 at the conference registration desk, Delta Meadowvale Mississauga (good for the entire evening of official showcases. I believe you need a conference pass for the private showcases.) See FMO website for the schedule.

Kim Beggs is also releasing her new album Beauty and Breaking this fall, and we decided it would be fabulous to team up and play a bunch of CD release shows together to celebrate! She’s wonderful. Check her out: www.kimbeggs.com

Photos from Rolla’s and Fort St John

I posted some photos on my Facebook page from our trip up to Dawson Creek/Rolla/Fort-St-John last week: (click on the thumbnails to be taken to Facebook.)

Visit my Facebook page photo album to see more!

And…

…tomorrow I am heading up further north in BC to play in Dawson Creek. Looks this love-fest feeling will continue a little longer.

Join me at ROLLA’S PUB this THURSDAY AUGUST 8th at 8pm. Sarah Elizabeth is going to play some of her amazeball songs too! Yes, that’s her singing in the choir in the photo below. Expect harmonies!

Sarah and I head to NANCY O’s on MONDAY AUGUST 12th at 8pm in Prince George. Even more of more!
