Song of the Day: March 11, 2016 - "Swimming Away" by Great Lake Swimmers
Great Lake Swimmers have announced that they will be releasing a new EP titled Swimming Away, on March 25th. The album will have 4 songs, two of which will be covers (Tom Waits, and PJ Harvey).
The originals are one commissioned song for the series Torn From The Pages called "Condition White" and an outtake from the last album A Forest Of Arms, and today's Song Of The Day, "Swimming Away".
The band have also announced a few spring tour dates out east co-headlining with Elliott Brood, AND a show on May 13th at my (and lead singer Tony Dekker's) old high school, Lakeshore Catholic High School in Port Colborne.
I remember seeing Maestro Fresh Wes in Grade 9 when I was there, so I'm sure it's going to be a strange feeling to perform there after so long.
Oh, and they'll be back in BC in August for the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival.
