Hello out there! Wanted to let people know if they're interested that I'll be playing a show with John McDermott at Hugh's Room in TO on the night of Thurs. Feb 7th. We'll each do a set with his guys, Jason Fowler and Mark Lalama. FYI it's a cool venue + John puts on a great show always. Anyway, that's it for now! Here's a link for tickets: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://hughsroomlive.com/event/john-mcdermott-thursday/">https://hughsroomlive.com/event/john-mc ... -thursday/</a><!-- m -->

And this is from the ticket link:
Paul Langlois is perhaps best known as the guitarist of The Tragically Hip, though with two solo albums under his belt and cross-country tours to support them, Paul has been quick to make a name for himself independently from the band. Known for his powerful lyrics as much as he is for is tight guitar riffs, Langlois’ current solo album, Not Guilty, is a collaborative effort with fellow musicians Jeff Montgomery, Mauro Sepe and fellow Hip musician Rob Baker. It was the fact that Langlois is a huge John Prine fan which initiated a friendship with McDermott and his musical director Jason Fowler. This led to the two inviting Paul to record a beautiful rendition of John Prine`s, Speed at the Sound of Loneliness, on John`s album entitled, Just Plain Folk.
Cool as fuck. What a collaboration I would have never have had imagined. And apparently originally happened in 2005. Here's the Spotify link to the John McDermott album with Paul collaboration mentioned, as well as what looks another song with Paul on it not mentioned in that blurb: John McDermott - Just Plain Folk: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/08iSsiLi0g9RFt8UwXAEx8?si=a1bd0dnzT2-tlRFBR-1I3Q">https://open.spotify.com/album/08iSsiLi ... lRFBR-1I3Q</a><!-- m -->
