Tour Update / Van Troubles!

Hey friends,

Just a little update for you since we've got a few hours to kill. The tour has been awesome so far. We played a couple great shows with our friends in Melody Unwinding. Kamloops was a small and sweaty all-ages show at the Loft, and Doc Willoughby's in Kelowna was a super fun bar show party last night.

Unfortunately our van decided it needs a new fuel pump so after we loaded our gear in last night we realized our van was dead in the water. Thankfully our bro 'Shaner' helped us out and pulled our trailer with his truck, and my magic BCAA card got the van towed away to the shop so we could continue partying.



We're stranded in Kelowna for a few more hours while the mechanics sort it all out, but hopefully we'll get back on the road with enough time to make it to Golden for our next show.

Still lots of good times ahead so we're not letting this little bump in the road dampen our spirits!

Free Download Of 'Closer'

Hey friends,

Some exciting news....as a little extra incentive for people to come out to our shows over the next couple weeks we're going to be giving away little download cards that contain special codes that will allow you to download the first single from our upcoming album!



The single is a brand new track called "Closer", and it won't be available to the general public until January 6th when it will come out digitally on iTunes. The full album, entitled "working", comes out February 10th; so this is your chance to get a sneak peak at the new album a full two months in advance!

If you've already gotten your hands on a download card, simply enter the access code on the back, and follow the directions at: www.acresoflions.com/downloadmanager

We'll have these cards sitting on our merch table at all of our upcoming shows, so come say hi to us and grab one!
