Tennyson King wrapping up his nationwide tour in Ontario
Nomadic indie-folk musician, Tennyson King, has been travelling across Canada tour in support of his recently released album, Good Company.
“I am so excited to get back on the road and start sharing my music to people in real life,” says Tennyson about his cross Canada tour. “Along with the excitement there are some nerves too as I’ve been grounded for almost two years, so it will take a little adjustment to be moving from town to town playing shows again. I think bringing music back into the world is important not only for me but for everyone right now. We all need to start feeling the sense of community, joy and human connection that has been missing.”
