AC Tour Info

[Mgood]

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all well. 

 

I took a break from interacting on here but wanted to jump back on to go over the acoustic tour next year. 

 

First, the dates that have been randomly coming out are because certain community theatres have to announce their schedules ahead of time for the courtesy of their patrons. That would be why theatres in smaller towns have announced shows, because I’m on their performance schedule for the year.

 

That said, this month the entire tour is being rolled out and will include shows in major centres. The tour is actually pretty extensive and I’ll be playing some smaller places that I’d otherwise not. 

 

Given it’s an acoustic tour, and I’ve not done one in Canada since Hospital Music, I’m really looking forward to it. The downside is that I might have to endure reading the entirety of “The Art Of The Deal” to find the best passages to read during shows (hehe). 

 

Anyway, I know I’d mentioned an idea of doing very small shows at higher ticket prices, in excess of $100, but we decided it would be better to do things normally. 

 

I’ll check back and try and answer some questions if I can. 

 

Best. Matt.

I think I know the answer, but is there any chance of a few US shows? Back in 2013, you did a one-off in NYC.  In major markets, I’d think you could pack a room....nyc was sold out.

Welcome back Matt.  Good to see you back again.

Looking forward to more announcements coming soon.  The last acoustic tour was one of my favourite shows ever.  I love the intimate setting and obviously the more rare songs that you're able to indulge us with occasionally are fantastic.

Perhaps an upstate NY date

I’d settle for anything at this point. I went to Canada for the CN tour but can’t swing that anymore. Too expensive and too far. Family obligations make it impossible. I’d love a Philadelphia show but realize that’s probably not probable anymore. I hate the nyc drive but I’d do it for two people: Tom Waits and Matt Good.

I would also love a USA show anywhere. Boston, New York, Vegas, where ever - we would love to see you perform!

Hey, Matt. Thanks for jumping back in. I know we really appreciate your insight here.

I plan on going to every show in Alberta. This seems like a good excuse to drive around the province in the winter. I already bought tickets to the five shows that are up for sale. I look forward to seeing the whole itinerary when it’s released. See you on the road and all the best!

Hope you are well as well Mr. Good.  Thanks for coming back to post and keep us informed as to what the future holds.  

I am very excited to hear about the plans for an extensive tour, and the leaked dates so far definitely point to a very interesting tour taking you to alot of places and venues you haven't played in a long time.  You're 06-07 tours are something of legend among your fans for both the more relaxed setting, hilarious banter and incredible setlists.  If these shows are anything like those it will be absolutely incredible.  Hoping to see about a half dozen shows this time out! Can't wait for more details.

Glad to have you back Matt, looking forward to the tour!

Excited to have the full tour announced and see what the gaps were from the shows that were discovered earlier this summer.  Even though I'm sticking to shows in the capital region I feel pretty fortunate that there are 10 stops in Alberta for this tour.  I have a question about the March 20 Edmonton show and the venue.  Since the tour announcement I've noticed references to another venue (Myer Horowitz - seated venue) as opposed to the one where the show is happening (Starlite Room - GA).  I've attached a few images to show this discrepancy. 

Was there a last minute venue change for Edmonton or simply placeholder text used?  I realize the logistics of planning a West > East > West Canadian tour with 35 shows can pose a few headaches when trying to determine where to play and when and maybe this is a peek behind the curtain on what may be involved in that process.  

Regardless, I'm looking forward to the tour and all the excitement that comes with it.
