Tegan and Sara at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium January 27
Straight from Press Release HQ: “After two sold-out shows in 2007, Tegan and Sara return to Halifax to perform in support of their upcoming album Sainthood at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium on Wednesday, January 27 at 8pm. Special guest is An Horse. The sisters have turned their attention to the literary world as well, and have recently completed their first ever set of books, titled ON, IN, AT. The three-book set chronicles different time periods in writing and photographs from the past year of Tegan and Sara’s lives.” Mostly touring, I imagine, and generally being awesome. Tickets are $32.50
