Canada (Top40 Charts/ ShowClix.com) - Amy Winehouse,
Velvet Revolver, The Format, Keith Urban, The New Pornographers, Kris Kristofferson, The Actual, Inward Eye, Tegan and Sara. These artists and more will be invading live music venues across Canada this summer - and to help music fans find, track and share concerts taking place in cities across the country, ShowClix.com, a live music search engine and online ticketing company, today announced their official Canadian invasion.
Music fans can now visit ShowClix.com to search for live music in cities across Canada; keep track of their favorite artists using the ShowClix "Tour Tracker" tool; set email reminders for upcoming shows; have concert announcements fed to them via RSS feed; and display upcoming concerts on their website, blog or MySpace page using the website's widget technology.
ShowClix' expansion into Canada also makes it possible for musicians, venues and show promoters to add their Canadian tour dates to the website's open database, free of charge.
"Canada has an amazing, vibrant live music scene. Over the years we've seen an increasing number of talented, independent artists originating out of cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal," said ShowClix CEO Joshua Dziabiak. "By expanding into Canada we're giving these musicians a way to promote their shows online and connect with music fans searching for live music in cities across the country."
