This Friday at Free Times Cafe (320 College Street, Toronto).  Doors at 7:30pm, our set time is 12:40pm.  Lots of awesome acts!!  Hope to see you there and at other IndieWeek events!

You might have noticed that we haven't been playing live much this summer (other than Eric's Epic BBQ Patio Sessions).  This is because we've been working on writing a new record.  This process, as expected, is taking a lot longer than we thought, but it's all for the best, because we keep coming up with new songs and ideas.  We're in the process of continuing to trick-out our home-studio setup for more pre-production and demo recording while we sort out annoying business stuff (barf).  We are getting real anxious to play some shows soon, so we might be announcing something along those lines, we'll see.  Let us know if you want us to come to your place and play, or if you need to be serenaded... you could use the tunes, and we could use the karma.  Peace.

 Hey y'all!  Hope your Canada Day plans are coming along great!  Even if you're not in Canada remember that you should celebrate Canada Day anyways, cuz we're rad!  We'd like to thank everybody who came out to our showcase at Toronto's famous Drake Hotel on Friday night, we had a blast, and even thought our set was at 9:30pm, we stayed 'ti last call, cuz that's how we roll.  Saturday we were in Brantford at Charlie's Bar which is one of our favourite places to play, cuz we play all night and party hard every time and Saturday was no exception, thanks to Dee, Jenn and Joyce for being such great hosts!  Monday night was the first time we played at The Cloak and Dagger Pub in Toronto, and we had a real great time (once we figured out the mixing board... we're not great with buttons).... Savannah was an awesome bartender and thanks to everyone who came out to support, we played from 9:30 until 12:30 and stayed 'til the bitter end, pretty darn good for Monday.

Now back to preproduction for our new record!  We're going to be recording at Iguana Studios with producer Vic Branco and adding some super-exciting surprise guests in July and August.  Keep posted for updates and multi-media docu-radness!

Have a great Canada Day, the world!

 Hello friends!  We're super-excited about heading back into the studio to records another album.  The last couple months have been spent writing and refining songs and sorting out studio details which should be firmed up soonish.  Please keep posted and we hope to have some chill patio tunes for you this summer.  

Check us out at Rancho Relaxo in Toronto next Sunday!

 Well, it's a snowy, slushy winter and everybody with any sense is flying south to beaches, margaritas and bikinis.  Not The Clearing.  To celebrate February, us Toronto-boys be flying to Bathurst, New Brunswick for lobster, ski-doos and Alpine Lager.  Bathurst is Eric's hometown and his homecoming should be a mega-celebration, east-coast style.  The Clearing will be performing at Place 2B (2050 Saint Peter Avenue) on Saturday, Feb 26.  It will be a fun night with tons of classic covers and of course, plenty of original tunes too.  Hope to see you there.
