Many Canadian music fans know Joel Plaskett from his multiple JUNO Awards, nominations on the Polaris Music Prize Short List, and sold out clubs and concert halls from one side of the country to the other. But, in 2017 he'll be sharing the spotlight with his earliest musical influence – his father Bill Plaskett.
In support of their upcoming collaborative record, Solidarity, the father and son pair are ready to take their new sound on the road for a string of tour dates beginning March 15 with special guests, Mayhemingways. This week, the duo have announced a stop at Toronto’s storied Massey Hall on April 8 as part of the fourth season of the concert and concert-film series Live At Massey Hall. Tickets are on sale today. As a primer for the performance, Bill and Joel are sharing a new track from Solidarity, “The Next Blue Sky,” a song about greener pastures. “Go west, they say,” says Joel. “That's been the story out east for years. Chasing some work, a safe haven, or the next blue sky. Or maybe just to get out from the shadows cast by the glassy trade centre they dropped on Argyle Street. The march of progress is no parade.” SOLIDARITY TRACK LIST OUT FEBRUARY 17 VIA PHEROMONE RECORDINGS 01 Dragonfly 02 The Next Blue Sky 03 We Have Fed You All For 1000 Years 04 Blank Cheque 05 Help Me Somebody Depression Blues 06 Up In The Air 07 Jim Jones 08 The New California 09 No Sight Compares 10 Solidarity 11 On Down The River THE SOLIDARITY TOUR Mar 15 - Truro, NS - Marigold Cultural Centre Mar 17 - Montreal, QC - L'Astral Mar 18 - Ottawa, ON - National Arts Centre Mar 22 - Winnipeg, MB - West End Cultural Centre Mar 23 - Regina, SK - WA WA Shire Centre Mar 24 - Saskatoon, SK - Broadway Theatre Mar 29 - Kelowna, BC - Mary Irwin Theatre Mar 30 - Nanaimo, BC - The Queens Mar 31 - Victoria, BC - Alix Goolden Performance Hall Apr 1 - Vancouver, BC - Vogue Theatre Apr 5 - Waterloo, ON - Starlight Apr 6 - Waterloo, ON - Starlight Apr 7 - Hamilton, ON - The Studio at Hamilton Place Apr 8 - Toronto, ON - Massey Hall Apr 12 - London, ON - Aeolian Hall Apr 13 - London, ON - Aeolian Hall Apr 14 - Stratford, ON - Avondale United Church Apr 20 - Halifax, NS - Rebecca Cohn Auditorium Apr 22 - Port Hawkesbury, NS - Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre May 4 - Paris, ON - Dominion Telegraph May 5 - Bayfield, ON - Old Town Hall JOEL PLASKETT ONLINE WEBSITE PHEROMONE RECORDINGS ONLINE WEBSITE
