As we promised during Ottawa Bluesfest and again earlier this week Dear Rouge is about to hit the road on a major North American & European tour with fellow Canadian's Rah Rah.
The tour which kicks off in mid-September with a sold out show at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto literally stretches coast to coast with stops in both Victoria and Halifax before heading over to Europe for the month of December. Dear Rouge will play the role of the headliner for the North American dates with Rah Rah taking on the headliner role for the European run.
Both groups will be promoting new albums Dear Rouge's Black to Gold was released in March with Rah Rah's album Vessels due to be released on September 11. If you didn't catch Dear Rouge on their summer festival run you won't want to miss this tour, heck even if you did you still won't want to miss this tour!
Stay tuned as we'll have extensive coverage of this tour and you never know we might just find a few pairs of tickets lying around to give away as well.

I'm also a diehard Habs fan but Sens fans fear not; as long as they aren't playing against my Habs I cheer just as loud for the Sens.
