On the heels of being short listed by Polaris Music Prize for his sixth studio album, A Short Story About A War, Canadian artist Shad has announced a special treat for his biggest fans.
“We’ll be making a very limited run of books containing the lyrics for those who collect or want to explore the album more,” wrote Shad in his latest newsletter update. “In the meantime, we’ve included the lyrics and liner notes here, for you kind people who allow me to periodically spam you.”
Along with the new book, Shad also used his latest newsletter to update fans on his pending festival appearances.
He’ll be at the Squamish Constellation Festival in Squamish, British Columbia on Saturday, July 27, and then heads over to Victoria the next day for The Phillips Backyard Weekender. On Friday, Aug. 9, the Old Prince heads to Tlell on the east coast of Graham Island in B.C. for the annual Edge of the World Music Festival. Lastly, on Saturday, Sept. 21, Shad heads to Vankleek Hill, ON (94 kilometres east of Downtown Ottawa) for Beau’s Oktoberfest.
