Great Lake Swimmers Release “Promise Of Spring” & Announce Deluxe Version Of Uncertain Country Set For September 29
Great Lake Swimmers release another video from their newest album, Uncertain Country (Harbour Songs / Fontana), with “Promise Of Spring.”
“The video was shot at the Silver Spire church in St. Catharines, Ontario, and is a peak behind the curtain at the recording sessions that took place in early December 2020. Although the song itself would take a few major twists and turns, the bed tracks were done live-off-the-floor, wearing masks and practicing social distancing in the middle stages of the pandemic, which at that point still had no end in sight. I love how you can really feel the room in this song,” says lead singer and songwriter, Tony Dekker.
The band also confirmed that Uncertain Country (Deluxe), an expanded edition will be available as of September 29 and feature all 11 tracks and 4 musical interludes of the original, plus six new acoustic versions of “Uncertain Country”, “When The Storm Has Passed,” “Swimming Like Flying,”“Riverine,” “Respect For All Living Things,” and “Flight Paths.”
The release of Uncertain Country (Deluxe) aligns with the Great Lake Swimmers Uncertain Country Tour which starts next week, on September 13 in Oshawa. The band will essentially spend the next four months playing across Canada, the U.S. and across the U.K, and Europe. A very special Toronto show at the TD Music Hall at Massey Hall is confirmed for November 15. All dates are noted below, with Canadian stops bolded.
Great Lake Swimmers, fronted by lead singer/songwriter Tony Dekker, just released their Uncertain Country album this past April. The new album is the band’s first new music in almost five years and richly complements their two-decades-deep musical catalogue.
