Northern Tour Trip Log. Day 1 and 2
Hello friends,
A quiet beginning to my northern Ontario last night at Tranzac Club in Toronto. I arrived at the venue to hear a large band named Dust barely make a whisper with their improvisational hushed sounds. I was taken in by their less-is-more (including less volume!) aesthetic. An inviting way to enter into my adventure. The quiet, sparse tone seemed to ripple into my own set as I played to a small group of attentive souls. "Hello Cleveland! How are you tonight-a!?" :) And the Tranzac's Southern Cross Bar itself has a palpable intimacy. So it felt fitting to close the night by joining the throng of four around their table and sing a couple of lullabies sans PA.
Made more stops on the trip to Sudbury today than a fam with young kids would have to make. Not so much a leg stretching and going to the potty thing. More about following the distractions of the roadside and waisting time for a closer look (see below). Playlist day 1: War on Drugs and Staple Singers. Nothing like "Heavy Makes You Happy" at the beginning of Hwy 400.
Speakeasy tonight. Time to set up!
