Alt-folk band Fish & Bird is headed out on a short tour through B.C. before heading into the studio to create the follow-up to their double nominated 2011 album Every Whisper Is A Shout Across The Void.
Fish & Bird has enjoyed a lot of success and attention since releasing the album – two Western Canadian Music Awards nominations (2011 and 2012), three official invites to the International Folk Alliance Conference, major Canadian folk festivals, rave reviews and international attention, and the top most frequently played album on Galaxie’s Folk/Roots channel for 2011.
The future is even more promising though, as the band is touring the UK next fall after being picked up by an agent at Folk Alliance.
Fish & Bird’s fourth album is slated for a winter release, so keep your ear to the ground on what’s to come.
The new album will be recorded on Mayne Island at Fiddle Head Studios. The yet to be titled album will be released in early 2014, and the band will be breaking out some new material on this tour.
Hear Fish & Bird along with Dougal Bain McLean and Seattle’s Impossible Bird, a duo featuring Nick Drummond, former frontman and songwriter for Seattle band The Senate and Victoria native fiddler Tyler Carson, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Upstairs Cabaret. Tickets are $14 and are available at Sitka.
