March 30 – April 24, 2027 | U.S. & Canada

We're thrilled to announce that we'll be heading back out on the road with the legendary Bruce Cockburn (pronounced Co-burn) for another tour this spring!

Fresh off an extraordinary fall tour that took us through Canada and the eastern United States, Bruce has invited us to join him again for a new series of concerts across the western U.S., Canada, and the Midwest.

What began as a new musical collaboration has evolved into something truly special. We've affectionately been calling it our "Back Porch Trio" — an intimate, spontaneous musical conversation built around Bruce's extraordinary songwriting and guitar work, with Jeff on bass, dobro, lap steel and vocals, and Inger on percussion and vocals.

Our fall tour included performances at some of North America's most celebrated venues, including Toronto's Massey Hall, New York City's Town Hall, Washington D.C.'s Warner Theatre, and Nashville's CMA Theater. Night after night, we were met with incredibly enthusiastic audiences, and the response from music critics was equally rewarding.

The Reviews Are In!

In a recent review of our Fort Lauderdale performance, Russell Levine of Grateful Web described Jeff as "nothing short of remarkable," praising his versatility and the musical connection he shared with Bruce.

Levine also highlighted Inger's featured lead vocal on Bruce's "Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long," calling it "one of the evening's standout moments."

Concert Addicts, reviewing our Montreal performance, celebrated the interplay between the three musicians, noting Jeff's colorful arrangements and the warmth and depth of Inger's voice and percussion. Reviewer Sam Duchoeny wrote:

"Their harmonies were a real treat"

It's been especially gratifying to see audiences and reviewers connect with the musical chemistry we've been enjoying onstage.

Spring 2027 — Back on the Road!

The next chapter begins March 30 in San Luis Obispo, California, with performances in Monterey, Berkeley, Medford, Portland, and Seattle before heading into Canada for shows in Victoria, Vancouver, Kelowna, Cranbrook, Calgary, Red Deer, and Winnipeg.

From there, we'll continue to Minneapolis and Stoughton, Wisconsin, before wrapping up with two nights in Chicago on April 23 and 24.

We're especially excited to bring this music back to the Pacific Northwest, including a performance close to home at Medford's beautifully restored Holly Theatre on April 4!

We're looking forward to another incredible musical journey with Bruce, revisiting these remarkable songs, exploring some new ideas, and reconnecting with so many friends along the way.

We hope to see you out there!

With love and gratitude,

Jeff
