NEWS: TIM CHAISSON ANNOUNCES EXTENSIVE CROSS CANADA TOUR WITH POOR YOUNG THINGS, ‘THE OTHER SIDE’ LP OUT SEPTEMBER 25
With the street date of Tim Chaisson’s new album quickly approaching, the young east coast singer-songwriter is pleased to announce an extensive cross-Canada tour this fall. Tim Chaisson will be joined by Toronto rockers Poor Young Things for six weeks of touring with dates coast-to-coast including Halifax, Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver and more. Tickets go on sale this coming Thursday, September 20. Chaisson’s fifth studio album, The Other Side, will be released on September 25 via Bumstead (The Trews, Poor Young Things, Two Hours Traffic).
With Colin Linden (Bruce Cockburn, Blackie & the Rodeor Kings, Lucinda Williams) at the production helm, The Other Side marks Tim Chaisson’s
strongest release to date blending his signature golden vocals and
guitar with a Maritime charm. “Beat This Heart” has been selected as the
album’s first single/video and features acclaimed songstress Serena
Ryder, while “Bail You Out” and title track ”The Other Side” follow
close behind as standout tracks. The musical transparency of the album
transcends to live performances, with fans already catching a glimpse at
what the new album beholds this summer at the inaugural Boots and
Hearts Music Festival, and a performance at this year’s Canada’s Walk of
Fame celebration coming up within the month.
Having
grown up in a music-centric family in the small town of Souris, PEI,
Chaisson quickly discovered not only a passion, but also a knack for
music, and into his teens became a talented multi-instrumentalist. This
quickly became a full-time endeavour with 2009’s Broken Hearted Beat
marking his fourth solo release and earning Chaisson awards and
accolades including COCA Emerging Artist of the Year and the prestigious
honour of being chosen as Musical Director for the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge’s high-publicized Royal Visit to Prince Edward Island in 2011.
Tim Chaisson also has his sights on an international
stage with his third trip back to Australia set for December 2012 in
support of Australian The Other Side album release.
