An English Singer-Songwriter Makes Canada His Second Home And Revisits Ontario For Another Tour

TORONTO, CANADA (Top40 Charts/ Max Cann Official Website) - UK musician Max Cann is returning to Ontario for his second tour in Canada, with some 25 shows - from Toronto to Ottawa and back.

With a reputation as one of the finest signer-songwriters in the south-west of England, he first came to Canada earlier this year for a handful of performances. Now, with a 25-date tour schedule of small and medium-sized club bookings, starting August 22 and ending in early October, he's making a determined effort to build his following in Canada.

To mark the tour Cann has released a solo acoustic record, Opener, of material written by himself and his three brothers, who often work with him in the UK. "The CD, which I recorded in a wonderful studio near Ottawa, is pretty indicative of the sort of thing I've been doing in Britain and Germany for many years," he says. "Now I'm singing these songs in Canada.

"Coming back to Ontario is a treat for me. I'm returning to some of the places I played when I was here earlier in the year, and at lots of new places as well. Canada's really becoming a second home for me."
