We’re proud to announce the excellent news: Delicate Cages will be released by Borealis Records on May 1, 2012.

Law of the Universe #420: “Success is granted to those humble enough to surround themselves with people who do what you do better.” Borealis Records has been dedicated to promoting the careers of some of my Canadian inspirations since 1996: Oliver Schroer, Ron Hynes, Bob Snider, Enoch Kent, evalyn parry, James Keelaghan, Mose Scarlett, Stan Rogers – to mention a few off the top of my head.

So: in celebration of a great new thing I will be performing a concert in Toronto on Tuesday, May 1 – International Workers’ Day – at The Gladstone Melody Bar, 1214 Queen Street West, 9pm.

Between now and May 1, I’ll be on the road through Michigan, Illinois, and then onto Fayette, Ohio to perform a showcase at FARMette – I’ll send postcards through Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you for listening and please: stay absurdly hopeful and inspired – this world depends on it.

Jon

The CD Release for ‘Delicate Cages’ will be on Fri. Nov. 25 @ Trinity St. Paul’s, 427 Bloor Street West, Toronto. Tickets can be purchased here or by calling 416-961-1040.
