Cross Canada 2011. From east to west and back again
Well; the last cross country tour has been over since May 28th and I have been back in Montreal decompressing, catching up, gigging a bunch, and getting even more time with my boy. This tour was a real hard one with lots of gigs, tonnes of shows, and about 13,000 kilometres put on the van, all by me. Needless to say I have required some real downtime at home.
After I returned from tour I immediately went into my studio to prep for some shows with The Jimmyriggers as they needed my help filling in for some pretty cool shows. One of them was opening for CCR at The Rock N Bull Rodeo happening here in Montreal. It was a blast and we had a great opening set that people seemed to really dig!
After that we had a couple more shows. One in town doing a benefit for a local radio station and the other was in Ottawa at The Elmdale Tavern. We had a blast at both of those shows.
For now I am spending a bunch of time in Montreal as Cash’s mum is out of town during the week all this month doing shows with Ladies Of The Canyon around Toronto, Hamilton, Oshawa, and Peterborough. She is back on weekends and that allows me to get some new projects going.
In July I head to Pembroke to unveil my country band “The Marshalls” at Sabstock Festival. Here are some promo shots we will be using for the website.
In a week I will be jamming with some new and very talented musicians in a project called Exit 451. I am really looking forward to that!
I have also just started some throwing my photos up on Instagram. Its a great iphone app that allows me to put cool old style effects on my digital shots and then share them online. If any of you out there are on Instagram feel free to add me and follow all the cool shots I am putting up. You can find me there under @lewishandford.
Till next time
