SUMMARY:John Muirhead: The Never Ending Road Tour with Sarah Vanderzon
DESCRIPTION:This Toronto-based troubadour crafts big-hearted indie-folk songs for dreamers\, wanderers and hopeless romantics. From fingerpicked confessionals to foot-stomping\, full-band singalongs\, his recent album Nomad captures his spirit. It’s rooted in the restless beauty of “inbetween-ness\,” with Muirhead’s reflections on heartbreak\, wanderlust\, homesickness\, nostalgia and self-discovery. As he says “These in-betweens are where we ask big questions and begin to really understand ourselves.” \nSarah Vanderzon opens the show. The arrival of her new EP\, Fortune Teller\, and its riveting first single “Are You With Me?\,” introduces a fresh\, insightful and enjoyable new voice in the annals of Americana\, folk and country.
