Songs from the Yukon Tour!!

Sarah Macdougall & Gordie Tentrees Announce “Songs from the Yukon” Tour Dates

Combine the hauntingly beautiful songs from Sarah MacDougall’s internationally acclaimed sophomore LP The Greatest Ones Alive with the edgy foot stomping tunes from the multi award nominated Gordie Tentrees’ new live solo album recorded in Helsinki and you have two of the Yukon’s finest storytellers hitting the road together in a double bill concert tour. Dates are below.

Sarah MacDougall
With year end top ten nods at Galaxie, Radio Ireland, Hi Fi and CKUA to name a few, the reaction to the Whitehorse based songwriter by way of Sweden has been fantastic. Produced in Vancouver and in Whitehorse with Matt Rogers (Mark Berube, C.R. Avery), and Bob Hamilton (Kim Barlow, Gordie Tentrees), The Greatest Ones Alive features ten melodic, beautifully written, songs.

“Sarah’s voice and songs have the power to ‘make stones weep’. Q Magazine
“Captivating and loveable, MacDougall’s presence is a force to be reckoned with.” Beatroute
This is a real breathtaking and touching record from one of the greatest talents of this era.”Rootstime
“…earthy, unaffected vocals, instantly familiar (and frankly irresistible) melodies, and intelligently penned musings.” Uptown

Gordie Tentrees
Gordie Tentrees is an international award nominated touring artist from the Yukon. This multi- instrumentalist singer-songwriter – whose traditional roots music resonates with echoes of RL Burnside, The Sadies and Greg Brown – has just released NAKED IN SCANDINAVIA, a live solo album recorded in Helsinki, Finland featuring a collection of story-driven songs, edgy foot-stompers and heart-worn odes that could only be delivered by a road warrior. He was recently selected to perform on the Fred Eaglesmith Tin Can Caravan Tour of the Original Route 66 from Chicago to LA with Mary Gauthier, Fred Eaglesmith, Robbie Fulks and John Dee Graham. He will be performing new material from his 5th album “North Country Heart” coming soon in 2012.
