Jam-tastic Concert Round-Up!

That's right, it's time for everyone's favourite oft-sometimes-daily segment, the concert round-up! Let's see who's announced shows in lately:

  • Keller Williams' favourite new band (as he's said on Jam On several times) the Stepkids, have added two shows in Canada to close out their fall tour, October 26 in Montreal and 27 in Toronto.
  • CANCELLED - devastating news out of Jerry Joseph's camp as he has cancelled his one and only Canadian date on his current tour, July 25 in Toronto. Ive asked him why on Twitter.
  • Trampled by Turtles has added a Canadian foray into the middle of their summer tour, announcing shows in Edmonton August 12, then taking a break until Winnipeg on August 30, Saskatoon August 31 and Calgary September 1.
  • In a show that is guaranteed to move and groove, Matisyahu and the Dirty Heads will take the stage in Vancouver (hopefully together! that would be awesome) on September 24, both of them in support of new albums that will be dropping soon. 
  • Dr. Dog, one of my favourite newcomers to the jam scene (if you havent heard of them, check out That Old Black Hole, a great tune) will perform in Toronto October 13. That is going to be an incredible week for music in TO, as Dispatch performs Oct. 8. 
  • Neil Young has announced a batch of shows, check out the full Canadian tour here.
