Jim Bryson joins Weakerthans for tour

[AD]

In what could be called a fine ending to a surreal week, I got a call last week asking me to play in the Weakerthans for their upcoming tour of Canada, the USA and Europe. Tough to say no to such fine fellas' and such, I have said yes.

This does mildly alter some solo plans, but I will be opening some shows and working hard in January and February on loads of solo stuff.

Attaboy!

i really like bryson's solo stuff. Probably been seeing him live longer than any other canadian artist, oddly enough.

jim bryson is an amazing artist....joined with the weakerthans this makes for an amazing show!!!

he used to be in the band "punchbuggy" for those of us old enough to sort of remember the early - mid 90's!

All Night Christian Rollerskate is STILL, to this day, one of my fav records. This reminds me, we need a "Back in the day" forum. Remember shotmaker? A great great GREAT ACT! I always took pride in the fact that "before" they were from Ottawa, they were from Brighton (my home town 5,00 ppl) in fact I used to date a girl who lived next to the barn they used to practice in. In fact, Nick's mom used to own the local record store. A lovely English lady. Their tune Uninhibited still sends chills up my spine. Matt also had a great band "post" shotmaker called Three Penny Opera with a ridiculous second drummer named Andy (Last name?).
