Yup. That’s right Ontario. I’m moving in. I’ve just completed booking and updating my dates for my annual solo tour into Ontario. Every year this marks my anniversary of becoming a full time self employed musician. My very first tour out of my own back yard was four years ago this March into Quebec and Ontario.
This time I’m approaching it a little differently. I’m taking a page from Hollerado’s book and Im going to move right into the province for the month of March. Six days a week for four weeks I’ll play six clubs. Over and over again. Some of you are probably stoked. Some are probably afraid for your liver. Some are probably shaking their heads. Either way, Come get some. I’m really excited by it and really stoked to be around the area for a full month seeing old friends, making new ones. Here are the RESIDENCY TOUR DATES…

I also want to implore folks who decide to come out to the shows to bring your new camera you got for xmas or your old one. I’d like to encourage folks to take as much video as possible for this tour. then at the end of the tour I’ll get y’all to send it to me so I can edit a fun video for the memories. Deal? Deal.
My whole mandate this year is to give back TWICE as much. Y’all support me and The Bastards so hardcore through 2010 that I want to try and give way more back this year. Whether it’s a video or pics or music or answering your questions. I want to GIVE. Why? Cause I loves ya. That’s why. You’re always there for me and I want to be there for you. Not in that creepy “looking in your window sorta way” but just there. You know? Whatever I can do I’m gonna try and do it.
And on that note…..here is my latest fun interweb thing…It’s called ask me anything…What do I mean? Well, just that. I don’t care what it is (within reason folks) I want to hear form you. So go ahead….ask away right here http://www.formspring.me/RossNeilsen What’s that? You’re shy? thats ok. Ask anonymously. Go ahead…be the first…seriousy…I don’t care what the question is…Gear question? Social media? Shoe size? Do i pick my nose? Go ahead. Lemme have it. I’m here for YOU!!!!
So I’m headed out for a quickie into Ontario tomorrow for a Blues Conference and I can’t wait. That’s followed by a few shows…Tour Dates are right HERE for the next few months. Check em out and get on out to say hi. Don’t forget your video Camera!!!!!
