Preview: Great Lake Swimmers @ Lincoln Hall

It has been quite the year for Great Lake Swimmers. Earlier this year they released Lost Channels, their most ambitious effort to date. The band was on the short list for the coveted Polaris Prize, which is given to the best Canadian album based on artistic merit and nothing else. They were also recently nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for "Contemporary Album Of The Year". They have toured extensively for the album and are finishing up their North American tour with a run of shows in the Midwest. Tony Dekker and company will make their Lincoln Hall debut on Wednesday. Tickets are still available and information for the show is below. The Wooden Birds open.
