With two Polaris long-listed bands, how can you lose? Vancouver's Yukon Blonde and Toronto's The Wooden Sky team up to tour across Canada, from Vancouver to PEI. Vancouverites willing to brave the fireworks crowds will be able to catch YB play a free show as part of the ShoreFest series prior to the Celebration of Lights fireworks display at English Bay.
To hype you up, here is a track each from their respective Polaris nominated albums; Yukon Blonde's self titled, released back in February, and The Wooden Sky's If I Don't Come Home You'll Know I'm Gone.
