Zachary Lucky Rolls Out Massive Canada/U.S. Tour, Shares Townes Van Zandt Cover

BY Josiah HughesPublished Aug 13, 2014

Saskatoon guitar slinger Zachary Lucky is gearing up to test his luck in a major way with a long, potentially gruelling tour in the works. The folk artist, who released The Ballad of Losing You last year, has booked a hefty trip throughout North America.

The lengthy, Canada-heavy run kicks off in Regina on September 9 and sees Lucky travelling the continent for three straight months. The trek includes stops all over North America, with Canadian shows booked in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.

Sandwiched in there are also a pair of shows in the United Kingdom. Those will take place in mid-October.

For this run of shows, Lucky will be joined by electric guitarist Chris Sleightholm (Snake River, Lonesome Weekends) and pedal steel player Ian Cameron (the Slim City Pickers).

As a nice little warm-up for the tour, Lucky has also shared a stripped-down cover of Townes Van Zandt's "My Proud Mountains." Watch Lucky play the song on a porch below the tour dates.
