Summer Tour Dates

Ben — Mon, 20 May 2013 12:52:03 +0000

Right now, I am enjoying some well deserved time off at home in Halifax doing some writing, playing, and listening to a lot of music. And lots of CBC Radio too….

I don’t want this episode to end, but I am excited to get back into the road for my summer shows. I’ll be starting with an amazing show in Toronto with The Casual Smokers. It’s the only show this summer with the full band, plus we are being supported by the amazing Gavin Gardiner from The Wooden Sky.
