Late last year, folky Canadian artist Great Aunt Ida (aka Ida Nilsen) delivered her third LP Nuclearize Me, which followed up 2006's How They Fly and was her first since a move from Vancouver to Toronto. After five years in Hogtown, though, Nilsen is looking for a change of scenery and is gearing up for a move to Detroit. But before that happens, the singer-songwriter will head out on a Canadian tour.
On the tour, the artist will be backed up by a four-piece band, and they'll kick off the trip September 2 in Thunder Bay, ON. They'll then head westward, making it as far as Victoria, BC, before stopping at her old home town of Vancouver for a two-night stand at the Kozmik Zoo. From there, Great Aunt Ida heads back east through the Prairies and Ontario. You can see all the schedule down below.
You'll also find a stream of Nuclearize Me at the bottom of the page, in case you needed some cajoling before popping up at a show.

9/2 Thunder Bay, ON - the Apollo
9/4 Bruno, SK - the Bruno Arts Bank
