Spring / Summer 2010 Tour Announcement as Troy Western Prepares for CD Release

St. Catharines, ON (March 6, 2010) – As spring approaches, Troy Western prepares for two CD release shows for his new much-anticipated album “Rocks In A Bucket” and his 2010 Spring / Summer Tour. Launching the entire adventure is the first CD release and tour launch show starting at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 18 in Toronto, ON, followed closely by round two for Troy’s home town crowd in St. Catharines, ON at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 27. With the warmth of summer arriving in June, Troy will head for the east coast of Canada for two weeks of tour dates, making stops in Quebec and Ontario on the way back home.

Troy Western’s new 5-track album “Rocks In A Bucket” will launch with his first CD release show on Thursday, March 18 at 9 p.m. at The Cameron House, 408 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario. Fellow singer/songwriters Carly Manley and Scott Normandy will also play that night as part of the show. This night will also serve as the “tour launch party”, taking Troy into a series of southern Ontario shows through Spring. The second CD release show is part of the Spring tour dates and is for Troy’s hometown crowd in St. Catharines, Ontario on Saturday, March 27 at 5 p.m. at Patrick Sheehan’s Pub, 101 St. Paul Street. Opening this show is Carly Manley and Myke Mazzei & The Mod Villains.

The Spring / Summer 2010 Tour begins on Thursday, March 18 and will see Troy play a series of shows with various formations of his band throughout the entire tour. Accompanying Troy on this tour is the band Myke Mazzei & The Mod Villains. Myke is a Toronto-based singer/songwriter and is doing double-duty in Troy’s band, sometimes as bass player, other times guitarist, and often as backing vocals. Together, they will be playing several shows around southern Ontario until Wednesday, June 2, 2010 when they head out for the east coast for their Summer 2010 tour dates. Once there, the two bands will soak up the welcoming east coast music vibe and Troy will explore some of his roots while they bounce around to numerous places for nearly two weeks, performing in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. On their way back home, they’ll be making stops in Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, and Kingston before the tour closing party and show in St. Catharines.

Troy Western's new album "Rocks In A Bucket" is putting the 'thunk' into folk-rock. People around the world are saying his "music is beautiful and voice is hauntingly memorable" with "great presence and talent". "Everything is perfect". And there's much more to come from this St. Catharines, Ontario singer/songwriter. Troy's momentum continues to build as more people turn on to what one fan deemed "awesome music"

Myke Mazzei is a Canadian singer-songwriter at heart. His songs range from soft, sweet ones to electrified, hard road rock. His songs overflow with passion and performance, regardless of subject matter. Myke lives in Toronto, Ontario, and frequently plays concerts and open stages around the city with his band THE MOD VILLAINS. Their album “Fields” is being played on grassroots radio stations from across Canada, Australia, and the rest of the world.
