After we wrapped up our Cross-Canada tour in April we headed west again….but this time we went into the USA and visited Montana and Washington State. And did we ever have a great time! Headlining both the Untapped Blues Festival (Kennewick, WA) and Sunbanks Rhythm and Blues Festival (Electric City, WA) were a dream. What a great bunch of festival goers!
Here’s a shot from our set at Sunbanks…

We’ve got over a dozen festivals booked between the Spring and Fall all over Canada as well as a few select dates in some of our favourite clubs. There are a few dates still being kept secret so check back regularly for updates as we will be announcing them very soon.
See you this Summer!
