Geoff Smith, frontman for Gunner & Smith, is set to hit the road again and will be stopping in Sudbury on Nov. 17.
After spending much of 2014 on the road with almost 100 shows across Canada and the U.S., Saskatoon’s Gunner & Smith hit Ontario and Quebec for a fall tour.
The tour will be making a stop at The Speakeasy in Sudbury.
Starting in 2010 as a solo project by folk artist Geoff Smith, the band evolved into a multi-member indie country rock ensemble that traverses the rocky line between post-prairies balladeering and grit-covered rockers for those given to heavy highway drives and long, expansive thoughts.
Initially emerging from Smith’s one-man vision, Gunner & Smith fluxuates between full band and solo endeavor; after releasing a couple EP’s Gunner & Smith released their first full-length album 'He Once Was a Good Man' back in February 2014, and set out to win fans one by one with multiple Canadian tours and even a few American shows.
And it seems to be working. With just a little bit of hard work, plenty of determination and the help of their incredible video 'Towns', Gunner & Smith prove themselves as a "band to watch" making their mark on the Canadian roots/alt-country scene. Much of the credit for Gunner & Smith's success can be given to lead singer/man-in-charge Geoff Smith.
"2014 was all about trying to get our album out to as many people, in as many places as we could," said Smith. "We are hoping to take what we've been learning from this last year and put it into our new album."
Upon the completion of the Spring 2015 Tour, Gunner & Smith will be heading to the recording studio to demo new material with plans to release a new album early next year.
Until then, Gunner & Smith plan to stay on the road throughout 2015 with a mix of full-band and solo dates.
