Julie Doiron, former Eric's Trip member, is in a good place these days. Her new record I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day (TMT Review) bursts with positive vibes, receiving strong reviews ever since its release back in March. She seems to be looking to the past in better spirits too, as she's joined on a few numbers by her former Eric's Trip band mates. So, I say why not take advantage of all these good vibes and spread them around Canada and the U.S.!
Her touring band will consist of Fred Squire (who collaborated with Julie and Phil Elverum on Mount Eerie's Lost Wisdom), as well as Jesse and Jay Baird, who make up the rhythm section of Feist's band. It starts May 26 in Toronto and will continue on for a month of dates, ending with two festival dates after a brief early-July rest. The first one is the River and Sky Festival in River Valley, Ontario July 18, and the second one is the Hillside Festival July 25-26, which will also feature Buffy Sainte-Marie, Final Fantasy, Tokyo Police Club, WOMEN, and a number of other bands.
