Marc Morrissette’s melancholic vocals and melodic guitar work has been catching the ears of critics and winning the hearts of audiences. His project as Octoberman began in Vancouver, Canada. Sometimes Morrissette takes to the stage with a seven-piece backing band and on other occasions with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and harmonica.
Morrissette proves exceedingly skilled at conjuring both the wariness and weariness of a man who’s seen the world. Yet, despite intense explorations, he’s come away with little in the way of certainties or answers. Instead, every discovery begets further questions. It’s these quandaries and conflicts that continue to drive the man and his music. Once Octoberman made the decision to run from safety, turning back was not an option. Upon mastering his new album, Morrissette quit his job and embarked on a European tour that lead him through five countries in five weeks. He next crossed the Atlantic, climbed into his Volkswagen and toured the continental United States.
We are delighted to now welcome these Canadian folksters to the UK for a free show in Cheltenham.
