Title: Canada 2014 tour
Post by: Smalltownboy on December 16, 2013, 11:38:32 am
As stated John will be doing a huge US and Canada tour in 2014 with a new album under his belt.  I hope he does come back to Vancouver.  I'm sure we'll start seeing tour date new very soon.  Right Tony?

Sorry to be a downer but I think we are a long ways off from a tour announcement. John plans to tour in support of his next album, but naturally that means he first needs to record, mix, master, create title and artwork (several months at a very minimum). Then the release has to be scheduled and the promotion plan for the release (TV, interviews, contests). That can't be done until the album is done. So the planning of the tour really can't start until those 2 things are either complete or mostly complete.

Long story short, don't be looking for any tour dates until the 2nd half of 2014 in the very best case scenario.

The good news is work begins in earnest with the band on the album in January so lets all cross our fingers that the recordings go well and everyone is happy with it so we can move on to the other phases.

I know I was getting ahead of myself but the news about a tour and new album really got me excited.  I'm sure we'll be getting updates as we move into the new year.  In the meantime we can all enjoy the box set of all John's albums and Ghost Brothers.

Tony, you are "the source" for all good JM info.  Thanks man.  I hope you had a great Christmas and all your turkeys are fat and healthy(if you still are raising them).
