BlogTO Interview

Here’s a “Call and Response” interview we did for BlogTO. It’s as true today as it was when it was written…

“Awake, You Sleepers! showcases Currie’s song-writing gift, steeped with detail and motifs, a little theatricality, wildness and – best of all – playful, emotional storytelling.” – BlogTO

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to take a sec and let you know that we will be performing on Wednesday, March 21st as part of Canadian Music Week at The Rivoli in Toronto. It’s the first night of the festival and The Country French will be kicking it off along with some other great bands at one of our favourite venues in the city. We certainly hope you can come out and join us as we drop it as if it were extremely warm. We will also be sporting a fantastic brass section, so you don’t want to miss that! So be there this Wednesday night at The Rivoli the beginning of what will absolutely be a great week of music in Toronto.

Best wishes,

Two Nights In Toronto

admin — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:25:27 +0000

Hi friends!

This month we will be performing two great shows in the city of Toronto. The first will take place March 15th at The Garrison along with several other great bands all in support of The Pop Group, which is a very cool thing. Please check out their website (www.wearethepopgroup.com) for more info about them and this very cool show!

The second show will be on March 21st at The Rivoli as part of Canadian Music Week. It’s the first night of the festival and we will be kicking it off in style. The Country French will be armed with a full brass section and aren’t afraid to use it, so please come and hang out with us as we salute CMW!

We certainly hope to see all of you Torontonians this month!

Best wishes,

Horseshoe Tavern Toronto

Had a great show down at the Horseshoe Tavern on Tuesday with Graham Wright and The Good Times Band! Thanks to everyone that came out for the show. Grey Owl Point blog wrote a good summary of the show if you want to check it out.

Nite Owl – London

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:01:27 +0000

Had a great show at the Nite Owl in London the other night! We had a 4 piece brass section with us to make everything that much cooler. Everyone knows that having horn players in your band makes you 10 times cooler than that other band across the street! Special thanks to Greg and the guys at Nite Owl!

FEB. 2 – HAMILTON, ON

FEB. 3 – LONDON, ON *NEW*

FEB. 4 – WINDSOR, ON

FEB. 7 – TORONTO, ON

FEB. 8 – KINGSTON, ON

FEB. 9 – QUEBEC CITY, QC

Review From PopMatters.com

“Rejoice! This is the pop record for those who thought pop was a dead art.”

The Country French recently received a pretty great review from PopMatters.com. The record “Awake, You Sleepers!” earned a rating of 8 stars (which seems excessive but we’ll take it)!

You can read the whole thing HERE. Or HERE.

Hope to see you all on tour quite shortly!

Love always,

Awake, You Sweaters!

There will be some February tour dates coming very very shortly! In the meantime, it is our great pleasure to announce that we will be performing on Friday January 13th at The Casbah in Collingwood, ON. It’ll be just like Elvisfest only sort of the exact opposite. Hope to see you there!

Best wishes,
