Promoting his upcoming album Take It Home (scheduled for release February 10 via Universal Music), Tom Cochrane is on a cross-Canadian tour at probably the best time of year to drive giant vehicles on the road, mid-February to mid-March. Good news is he’s stopping in Halifax March 6 at Casino Nova Scotia (8pm). VIP ticket info here. Tickets on sale November 28. $50/$60 premium plus HST and service charges. Ticket pre-sale available for Player’s Club Members on November 26 at the Guest Services Desk at Casino NS. Tickets available by phone at the Ticket Atlantic Box Office, (902) 451-1221; in person at all participating Superstores and Casino Nova Scotia; or on-line at www.ticketatlantic.com
Take It Home is said to have an American roots music feel, but not too American. From today’s release: “Like a big freight train winding its way north then west in the early mist of a Canadian summer morning, Take It Home has a power to it that is as compelling as it is haunting.” Wait, the train is haunting? G-g-g-ghost train?
There’s only one thing that’ll calm my fears about this totally real and totally haunted train—HIT IT!
