CD release weekend!

10 songs done, half a tour down and a band all fired up and ready to go!

The time has come to bring forth the new music to my hometown of Winnipeg. I've been on the road for the last few weeks with my sis-in-law Kim playing Brandon, Ottawa, Port Alberni, Duncan, Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon.

It's not that we wanted to keep you waiting but rather we wanted to make sure we were well rehearsed and ready for the hometown crowd. With Eastern Canada in our sights (We'll be touring to Toronto, London, Guelph, Ottawa, PEI, Lower Sackville, Woodstock, Montreal, Peterborough and Hamilton in the second half of November) here we pause this weekend where we will be doing not one but two CD releases here in Winnipeg.

The first is an 18+ event at the Pyramid Cabaret (176 Fort St) on Saturday night. The event doors open at 9pm and the show begins at 10pm with Sonia Eidse then Cris Derkeson and then the Don Amero band. As a special treat we've brought in Digging Roots who will be closing out the night with a rocking soulful set!

The second is an all ages show held at Good News Fellowship Church (891 St. Marys Rd). Doors open at 7pm and the show begins at 7:30. My good friend Brad Woods will be in town to host and also share a few entertaining stories.

Each show is $10 so feel free to come to one or both. If you're the party atmosphere type then Saturday is your night, but if you're more of a stories and songs kinda music fan then I think you'll love we have to offer on Sunday night. Either way, I am very excited to be bringing you the new music from 'The Long Way Home' and I hope you'll join me and the band this weekend!

Cheers and thanks for reading!
Don

No awards (I can't believe it! wink, wink) , but two great cd release parties still. Oh and one pretty awesome cd. Can't wait until you get home again though...it seems like a long way...
