HALIFAX - Wintersleep is pleased to announce a free show in Halifax this August.
The rock band comes home as part of Halifax Natal Day Festival on
August 4 for a free, all ages show at Alderney Landing to celebrate the
city's 177th Natal Day and their critically acclaimed new album, Hello Hum.
Already, critics have chimed in, saying it is "the album of their career" both "beautiful and triumphant." The new songs are described as "sonically stunning creations [which] toggle between spindly Radiohead art-pop and mass-appeal arena-rock anthems."
While in Toronto, on a recent tour stop, Mitch Fillion's Southern Souls
captured a quieter acoustic moment on video for the track, Smoke.
The
band also adds a new tour date in Ottawa this July 15th as part of
Ottawa Bluesfest (replacing their previously scheduled Ottawa Folkfest
appearance this September) and is confirmed to return to Halifax for the
Halifax Pop Explosion.
