“SWEET SHADOWS” STRETCHING EAST : TRH’S MARITIME SUMMER TOUR
This summer takes us further a-field and closer to our roots all at the same time. We are heading off to the East Coast in late July to introduce Sweet Shadows to the Maritimes. Bryan’s family hails from Miramachi New Brunswick and Abby’s from Belmont Nova Scotia (near Truro) and we think it’s just the perfect place for our sophomore release. The hybrids come home!
Those of you who have been following our blogs and journal entries will know that Sweet Shadows’ 12 songs and bonus track mark our debut as singer-songwriters - 9 of the tracks are original. While only 4 tracks are trad, the album’s instrumentation and arrangements continue to honour our early folk music influences – our sweet shadows, if you will - including the east coast roots to which we’ll be returning. We are so looking forward to reconnecting with family, friends and the incredible beauty, variety and warmth of the Maritimes. If we’re passing through your town, don’t be a stranger – Maritimers never are!
PS: Did you know you can also check out our TOURING PAGE for a list of all performances, including projects we’re involved in separately? If you need more info on anything, drop us an email!
