New Short of Able Record out April 30th
Greetings from the Short of Able camp! We have been very quiet over the last few years, however, we are very excited to announce the release of our brand new record "Welcome"!
"Welcome" will be our third full length release and is a culmination of our experiences as a band over the last 4 years. The record was recorded and produced by Stew Kirkwood at the lovely Sound Extractor and we wholeheartedly believe it is our best work to date.
We are thrilled to finally announce the release date of our record will be Saturday April 30th, 2016. We have recently locked down a venue and will be hosting a release party on this date in Edmonton. SAVE THE DATE!
Stay tuned for more exciting news over the coming weeks as we get ready for April 30th. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!
Regards,
Justin, James, Colin & Devin

Tour Dates
We are very excited to be hitting the road this spring for a Western Canada tour. We are playing 9 shows in 8 different cities. The tour kicks off in Edmonton this week with a show at Avenue Theatre. We will be opening for Rah Rah and Two Hours Traffic. The next few shows come a few weeks later, starting in Jasper at the Whistle Stop and finishing up in one of our favourite venues in Saskatoon, Lydia's.
It is going to be a blast. Tickets for all show will be available at the door. For the Moose Jaw show, it might be best to call into Kergano's early to reserve a table. It is a very small venue and will likely sell out by showtime.
See you out there.

Our performance takes place on Tuesday March 19 at Cherry Cola's Rock n Roll Cabaret.
