The Tour of Mr. Jeremy Fisher

Didgeridoo-attics and Folkies collide when Canadian troubadour Jeremy Fisher--not to be confused with this Jeremy Fisher--tours the Australian mainland in the company of native blonde-shell Xavier Rudd.

Catch Fisher first, touring the US on a 20 city turn with Jenny Owen Youngs, Sanders Bohike, The Weakerthans and The Last Town Chorus. He'll no doubt be singing farewells to blue Mondays, jigs to girls running guns, and pseudo-warnings about how he may or may not* metaphorically be a cigarette of an addictive and flamable nature.

* The US Surgeon General did not respond to our calls and has not released an official statement. Though Cruella De Vil (on the patch) did lend her support.
