Hawksley Workman’s Winter Bird Tour kicks off in St. John’s today and wraps nearly two months from now in Whitby, with stops in cities big and small across Canada. The Winter Bird Tour is the official Old Cheetah album release jaunt, and Hawksley will present new material with a backing band that his fans know well, including the one and only Mr. Lonely.

Watch Whitehorse perform “You Get Older” from the album Leave No Bridge Unburned with a mariachi band. Whitehorse and Leave No Bridge Unburned were recently nominated for 3 Canadian Folk Music Awards, including the Pushing The Boundaries Award, English Songwriter of the Year (Luke Doucet + Melissa McClelland) and Ensemble of the Year.

Six Shooter Records is amped to present “Hollywood Honky-Tonker” Sam Outlaw and “Space Cowboy Lovebirds” Whitehorse at AmericanaFest 2015. Sam Outlaw is making his name as a throwback country songwriter with talent and wit to burn. Whitehorse has exploded the concept of a roots duo with their intense and intricate chemistry and live show. Six Shooter Records has released new albums by both in 2015.

This fall, Whitehorse sets out on The Sweet Disaster Tour, a music marathon that starts where it all began, in Hamilton, ON. Fittingly, Six Shooter has released a new backyard version of “Sweet Disaster” that showcases the beautiful basics, the “Gram and Emmylou” magic at the heart of Whitehorse. See Luke and Melissa strip away the bells and whistles.
