Our first return to Canada in many years is a low-key one. Small venues in five cities in Ontario. And since these are small venues, one would hope that we can pack them, so we can return more often and play more cities and so on.
Here are the dates:
Apr 25 – Peterborough, Ontario – New Market Hall
Apr 26 – Port Hope, Ontario – The Capital Theater
Apr 27 – London, Ontario – Aeolian Hall
Apr 28 – Hamilton, Ontario – Hamilton Studio
Apr 29 – Toronto, Ontario – Hugh’s Room
We have never toured with an opening act, but there is a first time for everything.
We are excited to announce that next Summer we will tour with Round Mountain. Robby will also play percussion with Jon and I, which will mean long evenings for him. You may recall that Robby was in the 2004 edition of Luna Negra, which was one of the best groups we’ve had in our twenty plus years of touring. Jon, Robby and I played as a Luna Negra trio with the New Mexico Philharmonic this past July and it was magic!
Since Jon plays bass on the Round Mountain albums he might even join them for a song or two now and then, and I would like Char to play on a few of my pieces, since I will ask him to play on the 2012 release “Dune”. And who knows what we’ll come up with for the encore!
Jon and I have the highest respect for the brothers and this should really be a fun tour. I hope that we can find a set up for everyone on the stage at once, so that nothing will need to be moved between Round Mountain and Luna Negra. Round Mountain will perform for about 40 minutes, and then Luna Negra will play for 90 minutes.
The Sounds of Santa Fe!
Greetings from the back of the tourbus, on the way to Santa Barbara.
I am told that Santa Fe CDs have been spotted at some Target stores, but may not have reached all Target stores yet.
The first track is the new Barcelona Nights, from this year’s album Santa Fe, and the second track is the older Barcelona Nights, from 2003 album The Santa Fe Sessions:
