DAN GRIFFIN & the REGRETS East Coast Tour - Launching April 4 at PJC

Recommended Posts

Happy to announce that Dan Griffin & The Regrets (incl. me on pedal steel and guitar) will be heading East for a run of dates:

Fri Apr 4 - Pepper Jack's - Hamilton, ON w Surly Young Bucks

Sat Apr 5 - Andrew's place - Kingston, ON

Sun Apr 6 - Zoobizarre - Montreal, QC

Tue Apr 8 - Baba's - Charlottetown, PEI

Wed Apr 9 - Seahorse Tavern - Halifax, NS

Thu Apr 10 - Paramount Lounge - Moncton, NB w Construction & Destruction feat. Shotgun Jimmie

Fri Apr 11 - Capital Bar - Fredericton, NB w Construction & Destruction, Shotgun Jimmie

Sat Apr 12 - Cafe Dekcuf - Ottawa, ON w The Spades

The Pepper Jack's tour launch show is being dubbed 'Sock Hop 1958' - that means we're hoping everybody will dress for an old school sock hop. We're bringing the Surly Young Bucks out of retirement for this show and we'll be playing all the hits as well as a whole bunch of 50's favourites for your dancing pleasure. DJ Top Down aka Mike Long will also be spinning 50's dance hits in between acts. We'll have shirts to sell for the first time and a new pressing of Dan's record Stars and Satellites - it's a super shoestring tour so we'd really appreciate your support on this night!

Cover will be $5 and we'll be collecting canned goods for the food bank.

As for the rest of the shows...if you're out East, come on out and see us, we'd appreciate it!

Indeed, but that date has unfortunately fallen through. The Spades will still be playing though, but I won't be there.

I should mention that we're still looking for a show the night of the 12th...we'll play anywhere between Fredericton and Ottawa. Anybody who knows anybody out there - or who's out there themselves - and has any suggestions, please let me know.

the Spades are playing at Cafe Deckuf. Maybe you guys should get on that bill.

Did you do that on purpose' date=' or did you REALLY not read the last two posts? :P[/quote']

we'll play anywhere between Fredericton and Ottawa.

Maybe you should have said "strictly between Fredericton and Ottawa"...

Aloha,

Brad

this is bullcrap. fuckin' 3 exams on the 14, 15 and 16th. What say you jambands? does one go on this tour and jeopardize finals?

No. There will be other, and maybe even better (no offense to Griffin & The Regrets), tours to go on.

Aloha,

Brad

It's a shame your Moncton show is head-to-head with Buck 65's cd release, but I'll try to make it to both and say hello. Shotgun Jimmie is a hoot!

Oh man, that IS an unfortunate conflict...shit.

It'll be awful lonely on stage without you buddy...and I'll have to play a lot more guitar to cover your parts. But you gotta do what you gotta do, and Brad's right, there will be other tours.

MarcO is going to leave the house? Good gravy, hell hath frozen over. Looking forward to seeing you cats.

Deeps you rule.

Hey, two new reasons to come to the Sock Hop:

- My new pedal steel arrived today and it's fucking sweet as all holy hell. A Carter Pro S10DB, 4 pedals, 5 knee bars, rosewood apron and plank maple top. Goldstein, meet the Big Time; BT this is Goldstein.

- A third Goldstein band added to the bill: The Midnight Shift, which is me on guitar/vocals, Adam Melnick on bass and Sean Burak on drums playing nothing but Buddy Holly tunes.

God damn I have a busy week of rehearsals, but then I get to go on tour so woo hoo!
