Since returning home from their first US tour, Ottawa's pride 'n joy, The Acorn have been enjoying the fruits (and nuts) of home-life, but furtively gearing up for an especially busy summer, as well as their forthcoming Tin Fist EP out this fall on Paper Bag Records!
Rolf of The Acorn recently recorded a lovely cover of Cyndi Lauper's upbeat, yet tear-jerking classic "(Goonies!!) Good Enough" for the May/June edition of Cokemachineglow.com's popular podcast. This summer cover is indeed good enough for Sloth, Chunk, Data and the rest of the gang.
You'll be able to catch The Acorn live this summer at many of Canada's sweatiest music festivals including:
July 6th - Ottawa Blues Fest July 11th - 13th - Winnipeg Folk Festival July 25th - 27th - Hillside Music Festival (Guelph, ON) August 1st - SappyFest (Sackville, NB) August 2nd - Quebec Folk Festival August 9th & 10th - Wolfe Island Festival (Kingston, ON)
The Acorn will be making their way across the pond for their first UK tour from September 5th - 14th in support of the Glory Hope Mountain, which will be released in Europe, Australia and Japan by England's Bella Union label (home to Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Midlake, Dirty Three, more).
