Mark Berube will be touring across Canada to promote the release of “What The River Gave The Boat!” He had this to say about the upcoming tour and album:

“The band and I started recording What the Boat Gave the River in early April after my tour with The Fugitives. We kept it intense, lots of sessions, lots of jams with different musicians and now we’re just over 2 weeks away from finishing it. I have to admit that this album is somewhat of a milestone. It’s been about 8/9 years of recording, touring, sluggin’ away…etc. This album makes me feel that it’s all paying off. I recently signed with Redux Records, headed up by Keith Brown. He’s the vice-president of Aquarius Records of the DKD Label Group ( Arts and Crafts, Last Gang Records, Tacca Music, Aquarius) and he’s started up his own label kind of specifically for us. So far, we’re happy with how everything is going. Keith is good people and willing to work hard along side us. Now the real work starts… It’s looking like What the Boat Gave the River will be released in Quebec in August, and the rest of Canada in September. The road has been good thus far, hopefully it will continue to bear fruits.”
