John K. Samson & The Provincial Band

In support of his upcoming solo album Provincial, out January 24th, 2012, John K. Samson is set to embarks on a Canadian Tour, including a stop at The Historic Aeolian Hall. The show will feature songs from the new album backed by The Provincial Band, comprised of Shotgun Jimmie on guitar (Jimmie will also open the shows), Doug Friesen (Pete Elkas, Bidiniband) on electric and upright bass and Doug MacGregor (Constantines) on drums. John will also perform a selection of solo renditions of material spanning his 20 years as a songwriter.

Traveling four routes woven into the prairie landscape, Provincial, the first solo album by The Weakerthans singer/songwriter John K. Samson, finds familiar landmarks and forgotten ones; shivers through long winters and uncertain memories; works its way home.
