Jam-Tastic Concert Round-up

It's time once again for everyone's favourite quasi-daily (sometimes) feature, the Canadian jam-tastic concert round-up! In other words, here are some of my favourite jam artists and bands who are playing in Canada or have announced their intent to do so:

• Primus returns to one of their "old favourite" stops (that's what it says on the website, whoo-hoo!), Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre, on Friday, June 15 
• NXNE kicks off in earnest on Saturday, June 16 with The Flaming Lips set to tear up one of Toronto's busiest intersections, Young & Dundas. Cant wait to see the Butterfly King and his Teletubby cohorts blocking traffic in downtown TO...The Lips also close their international tour on September 14 in Victoria, BC. Very cool!
• Canada's own folk quartet the Barr Brothers have announced a string of tour dates across Canada, starting June 21 in Ottawa but reaching from Quebec City to Vancouver and points in between. Their website is currently under renovations but you can see the tour sched here, and of course ill keep you posted. 
• The Wood Brothers hit Toronto Monday, June 25 and Vancouver July 13. 
• BREAKING NEWS: Jerry Joseph is set to appear with his Jackmormons in Toronto on July 25, Victoria on August 20 and Vancouver August 21 - lucky bastards!
• Ziggy Marley will take an un-rasta-like whirlwind tour of eastern Ontario, hitting Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal back to back to back June 26-28. After a string of US dates moving west, he'll dash back up for a show in Coquitlam, BC (nice work guys!) on July 20. Also check out the free download featured on his site right now, its a funky track!
• Jordan Cook, AKA Reignwolf, kicks off a Canadian tour this summer on June 23 in Swift Current, SK, and he'll hit a series of music festivals around the country this summer. If you get the chance to see this guy please do! He's gonna be big, mark my words. 

Thus concludes the updates and round-up for the month of June. As always, if any new jam-tabulous shows are announced ill be the first to know about (which makes you the second)...
