Tom Savage, of the Kingston based alt-country trio the Tom Savage Trio is looking forward to returning to Lethbridge, even if it is on another Monday.
He plays the Slice, May 30.
“We’re looking forward to being back at the Slice. It’s on a Monday, but we‘ve got to fill every day. That’s just the way it goes,” said Savage from Wawa, where the band is beginning their latest cross-Canadian tour.
The band, which often draws comparisons to other alt-country troubadours like the Drive By Truckers and the Bottle Rockets, has been moving towards more of a jam band/ bluesy sound.
“It’s going to be a good rock show, high energy, with new songs and songs from the ‘County Line.’
In addition to introducing new drummer Jeff Harman, who they have been playing with for the past couple of months.
The trio will also be road testing some new material which will be recorded on a follow-up CD to their “The County Line” CD which was released in 2008.
“Over the years blues has seeped into the live show. We like to represent what we’ve been doing on stage. So it’s going to be interesting,” he said.
While he released an unplugged CD in 2009, that was more of a solo CD than a new Tom Savage CD.
“It was quite different. It was more of a solo CD. There were only a couple songs from County Line. It was quite different,” he said.
