O highway I travel! O public road! Do you say to me, Do not leave me?
Do you say, Venture not? If you leave me, you are lost?
Do you say, I am already prepared—I am well-beaten and undenied—adhere to me?
O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet I love you, you express me better than I can express myself.
- “Song of the Open Road” by Walt Whitman

When you are touring, you get used to being in very close quarters with your bandmates. Squishing in vans, hotel rooms, hanging out and playing music with the same people for an extended period of time can be both challenging and rewarding. It’s a true test of friendship and temperance in all situations, good and bad. I count my band as some of my best friends and I am so lucky to have a small [but ardent] family of brothers-from-other-mothers and sisters-from-other-misters that enjoy traipsing the land in a rolling block of metal and body odours as much as I do.
This tour was so successful for us, and we can’t thank everyone enough. We were constantly surprised and encouraged at the warmth and positivity we received from so many people we met (and re-met) along the way. I was happy you remembered us! Thank you to our new friends, our old friends and those who opened up their homes, lives, Sunday nights and pocketbooks for us along the way. You make me so excited to be able to do this.
Here are a few highlights:
We are waiting for the Subway sponsorship…
We were the most tanned beach bunnies around.
Evening Hymns + Lovers = Awkward photos
Dear mountains watch over us, we small beings by the sea.
Now it’s time for us to start preparing for the Toronto cd release show and a string of Ontario shows in the fall. You can purchase advance tickets by hitting up your local independent record shop in Toronto. They’ll be available at the door but we always suggest getting advance because this just might..be …a …party.
