Yes! So very thrilled to announce I'll be touring the West Coast of BC with one of my most favourite musicians, and one of the best banjo players on the planet, Chris Coole. We have a sweet set of shows and hope you can make it out!

Info:
Chris Coole is known as one of Canada�s finest proponents of old-time music. He is also a noted singer-songwriter, guitarist and sideman.

As the guitarist of The Foggy Hogtown Boys, he has taken bluegrass across this country and back, and to far flung places such as Israel, Ireland, The U.K., Germany and The Czech Republic. From his start as a busker on the streets and subway system of Toronto, to his busy current schedule playing and teaching around the world, he has made music his full-time profession for over 20 years. His banjo playing has been called �incomparable� (Penguin Eggs Magazine) and �highly accomplished and understated� (Bluegrass Unlimited). Chris juggles several musical projects, but has spent much of his time the last few years playing banjo and guitar for 3 time Juno award winner (and current nominee) David Francey.

Although this is their first tour, Anne Louise Genest and Chris Coole have spent countless hours lost in songs and tunes together. Their friendship has been bonded together by a mutual love of a song that makes you cry, a tune that makes you dance, a joke that makes you laugh�not to mention the odd gin and tonic that, can make you cry, dance and laugh ever harder! Both musicians stand out for their �serve the song� approach to playing music, an approach that makes the stories and tunes come to life. Ancient old-time ballads and blues mix seamlessly with new heart songs and banjo breakdowns to create a thoroughly compelling night of music.
