The Skinny
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Folks,
City of Sirens is a little more than a week away from being ready to go - well alright!

In the meantime you can hear three songs from the album at our myspace page.

And - you can pre-order a signed copy of the album from MapleMusic.com.

We're looking forward to playing the new material (and many favourites) for you at the Black Sheep Inn (Wakefield, QC) May 30 and 31, at Hugh's Room (Toronto) June 5,6 and 7 and the rest of this beautiful, rather large country of ours later in the summer and fall.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

The sight of robin redbreast has aroused us from our deep winter's slumber to the fact that Spring is nigh. So here we go - less talk, more action!

  •  A sneak peak at the next documentary (still in process of creation) by Award winning  filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nick de Pencier (Manufactured Landscapes).  Musicians Selina Martin and Martin Tielli will perform their original score live for this unique screening.  
  • An acoustic set of music by internationally celebrated singer Margo Timmins and songwriter/guitarist Michael Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies with guitarist Josh Finlayson and singer Andy Maize of the Skydiggers

For audiences, these events will be a final chance to experience works by Danny Grossman in an annual season.  Andrea Nann was a member of the DGDC from 1988-2003. 
  • The multi dimensional, multi talented Tom Kuo and celebrated 'sonic activist', cellist/vocalist Anne Bourne will collaborate to create a sound environment for this year's SHEBANG!
