“Reminding Me” singer Shawn Hook and “Marching Bands” EDM-pop act Neon Dreams will be touring together this fall on a 17-date Canadian tour, with a dollar from each ticket sale going to We Charity, formerly known as Free the Children.  


They are calling it The Good Days Tour, which starts Oct. 16 in Montreal and ends in Surrey, BC, Nov. 10.

Hook and Neon Dreams dropped off Hedley’s 30-plus-date Cageless Tour earlier this year after allegations of sexual assault and sexual misconduct against the headliner surfaced on social media and were covered in news outlets.

“That moment can’t define us and I’m not going to let it define us,” Hook tells Samaritanmag.

Obituaries: Peers Pay Tribute to Canadian Folk Great David Wiffen

This week we also acknowledge the passing of controversial hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa, U.S. guitar ace Wayne Perkins and Hamilton musician and author Douglas Carter.

David George Wiffen, an Ottawa-based folk singer-songwriter revered by his peers and best known for his classic tune "Driving Wheel," died on April 5, at age 84.

A Globe and Mail obituary reports that "Wiffen was born in 1942, in Redhill, Surrey, a market town south of London. He first arrived in Canada as a 16-year-old with his family when his father, an engineer, was transferred to Toronto. Wiffen returned to England but eventually doubled back to Canada to stay."
