Rush In Winnipeg For The First Time In 25 Years!

I mentioned a few weeks back that Rush were coming to town for the first time in 25 years, and now the date is official: May 24th. Ticket information hasn't been released yet.

Surprising music-related announcement of the day: rapper-turned-actor Ice-T will be speaking at the U of M (?!) this Wednesday.

And Todd Snider, who reportedly played a poignant set at last summer's Folk Fest, is at the West End on April 6th. Tickets go on sale January 19th.

Stephen Fearing is there on March 8th with Oh Susanna.

Julie Doiron and Jill Barber play there on March 29th.

Current rotation: Josh Ritter - Girl In The War
