Kathryn Calder Takes To The Road

Kathryn Calder is clearly one of the most adorable artists in North America. Who wouldn't want to give her a giant hug...even if she still had that frying pan?

Kathryn Calder will be embarking on her FIRST ever tour of the United States and Canada in support of her critically acclaimed debut album Are You My Mother?

Kathryn and her band full of a virtual who's who of the Canadian music scene will not only be playing songs from AYMM? but also throwing in some NEW material from an upcoming album that she is in the midst of finishing. Music fans were first introduced to Kathryn through her now defunct band, Immaculate Machine and then everyone became interested once she joined the New Pornographers.

She's twee but with a sense of drama about here and her songs are sweeping affairs that have a sweetness about them that will mess with your heart. Just listen to Arrow...it'll just about bring you to tears if you're not careful. And while you're going through boxes of tissues, you can check out the tour dates below.
