I just finished up a swing through Alberta with the band this weekend and I have to say that the hospitality we were shown was unreal. It started in Carstairs with the Valeau brothers of “The Polyjesters” bringing us to town for a night of small town Alberta debauchery. Unfortunately we didn’t have the next day off to do steaks and skeet shootin’! Next time. Then it was off to The Queen Alexandra Hall in Edmonton where the Rachinsky family put on a wicked dance party that we rocked until the not even so wee hours of the morning. Thanks also to Big Rock for as many beers as we could possibly drink, … and the righteous hangover. Calgary was phenomenal. We walked in to The Ironwood and every table had a reserved sign on it. That show went off the hook. Sunday afternoon in Bragg Creek at Mary-Lynns house blew my mind again. It was amazing way to top off the weekend getting back to our roots just playing in the corner of a living room full of amazing people. I guess what I am saying is that this weekend was the first tour we have done where every show was sold out! And we are very energized from it.

I want to drop another note about some shows coming up in Alberta in July. Between the 1st and the 6th we are going to do a string of dates with SAM ROBERTS and MATT MAYS & EL TORPEDO. Extremely stoked about that. We can’t wait. The shows will be between Fort Mac and Banff, I’ll post the details as soon as I get them.

Thanks.  DB
