Today we take a break from our usual M.O. around this time of year of posting SXSW previews and instead take a moment to look at an artist who’ll be heading to Toronto later this month, once SouthBy’s in our rearview mirror.
Wisconsin’s Newski will soon be hitting the road in advance of his upcoming new album Friend Rock, which sees him collaborating with members of The Verve Pipe, Guster and Nada Surf, among others. Unsurprisingly, Newski’s friends help to bring a ’90s alternative sound to Friend Rock, as evidenced by tracks like lead single “Chemicals” featuring vocals from Nada Surf’s Matthew Caws.
Newski will be playing a handful of Ontario dates in late March/early April. All dates below:
03.30 – HAMILTON, ON @ Mill’s Hardware
03.31 – TORONTO, ON @ Horseshoe Tavern
04.01 – ELORA, ON @ Elora Brewing Co
04.02 – BARRIE, ON @ Queens Hotel
