Shuyler Jansen Takes New LP on Canadian Tour with Deep Dark Woods

BY Alex HudsonPublished Mar 17, 2011

Later this month, Saskatoon, SK-based songwriter Shuyler Jansen will release Voice from the Lake via Scratch Records. Once the album drops, he will hit the road for a brief Canadian tour.

In early April, Jansen will play a one-off show at his hometown's Vivefest3, an event that also includes performances by Chad VanGaalen, Braids and Woodpigeon. Then, a month later, he will hit the road for seven more shows. Six of these will be in Ontario before the outing wraps up in Montreal on May 9.

Jansen will be joined on tour (and on stage) by Deep Dark Woods. The folk rock outfit also backed the songwriter on Voice from the Lake.

UPDATE: Deep Dark Woods' Lucas Goetz informs us that they in fact will not be playing with Jansen on his Ontario dates. Jansen instead will be doing a solo opening slot during the round of dates.
