Tickets to all shows are on sale now at keelaghan.com. September 22, National Arts Centre Ottawa, Ontario
September 24 Aeolian Hall, London, Ontario October 28 New Moon Folk Club, Edmonton Alberta* October 29 Fish Creek Concerts, Calgary, Alberta October 30, Lethbridge Folk Club, Lethbridge, Alberta November 19, Registry Theatre, Kitchener, Ontario These shows will be a celebration of the new record, and James is bringing the expert players from the album on tour with him. For the NAC show, James will be joined by Bob Stagg on piano, David Woodhead on bass, and Bill Garrett on guitar. For the London show, David and Bill will join James, and for the Alberta and Kitchener shows, it will be James and David. *Of special interest, James' birthday is Oct 28th, the day of the Edmonton show. ‘I had a lot of fun recording it, mostly in Montreal, with producer Bill Garrett and engineer Gilles Castilloux. I also got to work with some amazing musicians—longtime friend and bass player extraordinaire David Woodhead, drummer Alan Lalonde, and keyboards from the amazingly funny Bob Stagg. It’s been on my mind the past few years that I wanted to have more piano in the music, and Bob played some beautiful stuff. A dream come true. I was also able to get backing vocals from Pharis and Jason Romaro and Kelly Prescott.’ More dates will be added. Because of the way James’ child care is structured, he can only go out a week at a time, so it’s going to take him a wee bit longer to get out to see everyone, so please stand by for more dates to be announced.
