  • Sloan’s Chris Murphy to Cross Canada on Solo Acoustic Tour

    Musician Chris Murphy is preparing to embark on an intimate solo acoustic journey this fall, taking his sound across the Canadian landscape.

    Following a memorable performance at the Halifax Urban Folk Festival, where he shared the stage with the backing band Halifax All Stars, Murphy is set to take the stage alone. This tour will see him cross Canada, playing solo acoustic sets throughout Ontario, the Prairies, and British Columbia.

    The road ahead is packed with dates, all designed to deliver raw, compelling performances. A key feature of this tour is the presence of opening act Peter Elkas on every stop, adding another layer of folk and acoustic harmony to Murphy’s repertoire.

    Fans can look forward to experiencing the music in a variety of cities, including major hubs like Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Vancouver, alongside smaller venues spread across the region. The itinerary spans October, offering intimate opportunities for audiences to connect with Murphy’s songwriting.

    The tour schedule includes dates in various locations, from Burnstown, ON, to Kelowna, BC, and further north to Edmonton, AB, ensuring that acoustic melodies reach a wide audience across the country.

    For those interested in Murphy’s wider artistic output, he recently released the album Based on the Best Seller last fall. This project already garnered attention, with one of its tracks receiving a nomination for the Polaris Song Prize.

    Tickets for this solo acoustic tour are now available and can be purchased through official channels. Musicians and fans alike are encouraged to explore the schedule and secure their seats for what promises to be an engaging Canadian adventure.
