David Vandervelde goes on tour as the spring sunshine melts the last frost of winter. Elsewhere, a flower blooms.

Spring is here again, and along with it are the tell-tale signs. The morning frost becomes a rich dew on blades of grass. Leaves slowly re-emerge on trees. Flowers, drawing power from afternoon rainfall and golden sunlight, begin to bud. Children toss frisbees and Nerf (TM) footballs in local parks. David Vandervelde rolls out of bed and goes on tour.

Vandervelde, the beautiful flower growing in the garden of Secretly Canadian, will be venturing out into the Midwest throughout the month of April. Accompanying him on this journey will be Nashville roots rockers Ghostfinger. And then, once the tour is done, Vandervelde will return home for a well-earned rest. Because, as they say, April Vanderveldes bring May not-Vanderveldes. (Nobody has ever said this and nobody ever will.)
