GOOD CHARLOTTE ANNOUNCES YOUTH AUTHORITY TOUR

Announcements/Casino Nova Scotia/Halifax/Latest Updates/Music by

Good Charlotte(Halifax, NS) – Multi-platinum selling band Good Charlotte are hitting the road this spring to headline a nine date Canadian tour, presented by Journeys. The tour, with special guests Silverstein, Waterparks and Movements, comes to the Schooner Showroom at Casino Nova Scotia in Halifax on Saturday, April 22.

Tickets are $53 in advance and $58 day of show (including tax and service fee) and will be available at Ticket Atlantic, Casino Nova Scotia, participating Atlantic Superstores, charge by phone at (902) 451-1221 and online at sonicconcerts.com. Additional fees may apply. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Show time is 7:30 p.m.

This show is general admission, standing and restricted to ages 19+ with valid ID.

The Youth Authority Tour also stops at Casino New Brunswick in Moncton on Sunday, April 23. Visit www.sonicconcerts.com for complete details.
Formed in the mid-90s, Good Charlotte have five albums and two collaborations under their belt. The band was integral in establishing a global critical mass for the pop-punk genre. The group’s 2000 self-titled debut laid the foundation with the singles “Little Things” and “Festival Song”. Then in 2002, the breakthrough success of The Young and the Hopeless catapulted pop-punk into the stratosphere and set them on the path to worldwide superstardom. The group followed with multi-platinum albums, including The Chronicles of Life and Death (2004) and Good Morning Revival (2007).

Following their release Cardiology (2010), the group needed to take a breather. “We had grown up inside the band and it was all we knew,” Benji says. “We all needed to step away to find out who we were outside of it as well as do some growing personally.”

The drive resurfaced in 2014 and Benji and Joel credit the young Australian pop- punk group 5 Seconds Of Summer for re-igniting the Good Charlotte spark. Working with 5SOS reminded the brothers of how much fun they’d had with their own band–and in 2015, the timing felt right. In November 2015, Good Charlotte released a video for the song “Makeshift Love”, a classic anthem that unabashedly screams early 2000s. Now, after the release of their new album, Youth Authority, on MDDN in 2016, a run of U.K. shows in August and a U.S tour last fall, Good Charlotte are ecstatic to get back to their true purpose and continue sharing their music.

BIG WRECK IN MONCTON AND HALIFAX, MARCH 10 AND 11

BRAND NEW ALBUM GRACE STREET SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 3rd RELEASE

Lead Single “One Good Piece Of Me” Is #1 Most Added Track At Rock Radio & Top Downloaded Song For The Week Ending 11/11

brHalifax, NS) – Platinum-selling rock giants Big Wreck return to the east coast with special guest Ascot Royals for performances at the Molson Canadian Centre at Casino New Brunswick in Moncton on Friday, March 10 and the Marquee Ballroom in Halifax on Saturday, March 11.

To coincide with the tour announcement, Big Wreck are also pleased to announce the release of Grace Street – their fifth full length studio album available everywhere Feb. 3 via ole/Warner Music Canada/Rounder Records. Grace Street is available for pre-order today and features “Skybunk Marché” and the #1 added single at Rock Radio this week, “One Good Piece of Me”.

Their first collaboration with co-producer Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers), Grace Street is the epitome of sonic diversity, from the heavy grooving “One Good Piece of Me” to the epic seven minute instrumental “Skybunk Marché”, resulting in a trip that lead singer Ian Thornley feels no previous Big Wreck album has taken a listener on before. “Musically, I’m still searching for the stuff that turns me on and takes me somewhere,” says Thornley. “You want to be brought to tears or have the hair on your neck stand up, and if the search for that takes you to new territory then so be it. You have to follow. It’s like chasing a high, and Garth feels that just as much as we do.”

Formed in the early 90s while all members were attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Big Wreck saw early success when their debut album, 1997’s In Loving Memory Of…, garnered the band three Top 10 singles (“The Oaf,” “That Song,” and “Blown Wide Open”), and a double Platinum certification. Disbanding shortly after the release of their sophomore record The Pleasure and the Greed, Big Wreck reunited in 2012 after a decade long hiatus with the release of “Albatross”, which debuted at #5 on the Top 200 SoundScan chart in Canada (their highest debut to date) and hit #25 on the US Billboard Heatseekers chart.

The title-track from Albatross earned Big Wreck the status of being the first Canadian band to hit #1 on the Canadian Rock Radio chart in over a year, a position they went on to maintain for six weeks. Albatross received a 2013 JUNO Award nomination for Rock Album of the Year and earned the band another three Top 10 Canadian Rock Radio singles. Their 2014 follow-up Ghost debuted at #5 on the Canadian Albums Chart and #4 on the US Billboard Heatseekers chart and was Big Wreck’s second JUNO nominated album for Rock Album of the Year in 2015.

Big Wreck is Ian Thornley (Vocals, Guitar), Chuck Keeping (Drums), Dave McMillan (Bass), Paulo Neta (Guitar), and Brian Doherty (Guitar).

Pre-order bundles that include physical CD’s and vinyl are available to purchase from the Big Wreck webstore here.

Hailing from Montreal, Quebec, Sam Roberts is one of the most distinguished and decorated Canadian artists of the new millennium.

The Inhuman Condition included the breakthrough hits “Brother Down” and “Don’t Walk Away Eileen,” and became one of the bestselling independent releases in Canadian music history.

The success of The Inhuman Condition landed Roberts a deal with Universal Music and in 2003 he released his debut album, We Were Born In A Flame. Roberts subsequently won a trio of awards at the 2004 Junos for Album of the Year, Rock Album of the Year, and Artist of the Year. The 2006 release of Chemical City again garnered additional Juno Awards. By the end of the decade, Roberts was practically synonymous with Canadian rock.

Love at the End of the World, released in May 2008, debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian Album Charts, and was certified Gold before the end of the year. Sam Roberts Band’s most recent work, 2014’s Lo-Fantasy, is their fifth album from which they have toured across Canada, the United States, and Europe.

GORD DOWNIE ANNOUNCES SECRET PATH CONCERT IN HALIFAX, NOV. 29

Announcements/Halifax/Latest Updates/Nova Scotia/Rebecca Cohn by

gord-downie(Halifax, NS) – Secret Path is 10 songs that tell the story of Chanie Wenjack (miscalled “Charlie” by his teachers), a 12 year-old boy who died fleeing the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora, Ontario, fifty years ago, walking home to the family he was taken from over 400 miles away. Downie was introduced to the story by his brother Mike Downie, who shared with him Ian Adams’ Maclean’s story from February 6, 1967, “The Lonely Death of Charlie Wenjack.”
“Chanie haunts me. His story is Canada’s story. This is about Canada… The next hundred years are going to be painful as we get to know Chanie Wenjack and thousands like him – as we find out about ourselves, about all of us – but only when we do can we truly call ourselves, Canada.” – Gord Downie

To read Gord Downie’s full statement on Secret Path from September 9, 2016, go HERE.

Secret Path acknowledges a dark part of Canada’s history – the long-suppressed mistreatment of Indigenous children and families by the residential school system – with the hope of starting our country on a road to reconciliation. Every year as Chanie Wenjack is remembered, the hope for Secret Path is that it educates all Canadians young and old on this omitted part of the country’s history, urging us all to play an active role in the preservation of Indigenous lives and culture in Canada.

Secret Path is now available in Deluxe (vinyl & book), and Book (with album download) editions, as well as on Download and Streaming services, and can be pre-ordered on CD and standard LP formats (out December 2). The premium LP features the stand-alone vinyl with 10 special lyric posters featuring Gord’s handwritten lyrics and bonus illustrations by graphic novelist Jeff Lemire.

PURCHASE SECRET PATH DELUXE & BOOK EDITIONS FROM GORDDOWNIE.COM AND VIA LOCAL AND ONLINE RETAILERS INCLUDING INDIGO, AMAZON, AND HMV.

Proceeds from the sale of Secret Path will be donated to the Gord Downie Secret Path Fund for Truth and Reconciliation via The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at The University of Manitoba. The NCTR is dedicated to preserving the history of residential schools in Canada, making this history known, and moving our country forward on the path of reconciliation. These funds are dedicated to finding missing Indigenous children.

Donations to the NCTR are now being accepted at give.umanitoba.ca/nctr.

Mike and Gord Downie and the family of Chanie Wenjack are also raising money for the newly created Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF). The Fund operates out of the Toronto Foundation and focuses on cross-cultural education to support healing and recovery. It is guided by and will also directly support the NCTR.

The DWF embodies Gord Downie’s commitment to improving the lives of First Peoples. The Fund will foster new relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, creating a pathway to reconciliation.

Donations to the DWF are now being accepted at downiewenjack.ca.
