It’s going to be a crazy music-filled summer and we couldn’t be happier! We are so pumped that June is jam-packed for us: we’re playing a bunch of awesome festivals alongside so many great bands! After that, we’ll be heading out west to play in a festival in BC in mid-August! Here’s the scoop:

On June 8th we’ll be in Sudbury to play the New Music Fest with our buds Arkells and The Trews! Next up, on June 15th we’ll be in Burlington to play the Sound of Music Festival, where we’re stoked to share the stage with illScarlett and USS! We’re so excited to come back home to Ottawa on June 21st to play a FREE SHOW at Mooneys Bay for the Dragon Boat Festival, where we’ll be opening for Sam Roberts! Rounding out a busy June, we’ll be heading to Lockport, NY, to play the Canal Concert Series on June 28th, where we’ll be playing with Puddle of Mudd! Last but definitely not least, we’ll be in Salmon Arm, BC, from August 16-18, where we’ll be playing at the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival!

THANK YOU! Last weekend we reached the 100% mark of our PledgeMusic goal! What an incredible feeling it is to know that our fans are just as excited as we are about the release of the new album. Your love and support means the world to us! We can’t wait to fulfill all of the exclusives, and for you to hear the new record. But just because we’ve reached 100% doesn’t mean the project’s done! You can still pledge, and this time a percentage will get donated to MusiCounts, the amazing charity that helps keep music in our schools. We’re not done dancing yet and we hope you aren’t either!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
XOXO
