Saskatoon's Minor Matter Announce Western Canadian Tour Dates + Release New Track
(Saskatoon, SK) - Saskatoon orchestral folk quintet Minor Matter will be hitting the road this summer for a string of tour dates in support of their self-titled debut album out on Friday, June 17th. The Western Canadian Tour starts in Edmonton on June 28th, following their hometown album release show on June 17th at The Refinery for MoSoFest. See below for full tour schedule. To celebrate the tour announcement, Minor Matter are debuting a 2nd feature track from their new album - 'Program 1' (CLICK HERE to listen). The group released the feature track 'Barren Ground' last month.
When it comes to musical experiences, Minor Matter prefer to take the listener down the path less travelled. With influences as diverse as the instruments they bring along for the ride, the group charts a course brimming with scenic detours and unsuspecting surprises. Hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Minor Matter started as Jeffrey Popiel’s experimental solo project and has grown to include 5 multi-instrumentalists that help bring his carefully crafted originals to life. Minor Matter released their 5-track EP, Concept of a Knife, in 2013. And the band has been hard at work since then, performing at prominent cultural events throughout Saskatchewan including LUGO, the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra, MoSo Fest, the Ness Creek Festival main stage, and the Saskatchewan Art’s Board Lieutenant Governor General Awards, gaining new fans along the way.
