Northern Pikes to visit Overflow Brewing Company this June

When it comes to Canadian classic rock one of the bands that must come to mind is the Northern Pikes and this summer they’re hitting the road.

The legacy of Canadian rockers The Northern Pikes continues in 2019 with the release of their brand-new ninth studio album Forest of Love, slated for release on June 7 via Universal Music Canada. Forest of Love is available for preorder now on digital, CD and limited-edition opaque white coloured vinyl LP. The band just released the first single off the new album, “King In His Castle” which is available now on all digital platforms. Kevin Kane, from The Grapes Of Wrath, is now an official member of The Northern Pikes, alongside original members, Jay Semko, Bryan Potvin and Don Schmid. Forest of Love was recorded at Studio Bell in Calgary, AB. and marks the first new music from the band in 16 years since their last studio album, Its A Good Life released in 2003.

Most recently, The Northern Pikes received a SOCAN Classic Award to commemorate 100,000 radio performances for their classic hit single, “She Ain’t Pretty” in Canada. Its amazing how some things in life come full circle says Schmid, hopefully we can keep on rockin & continue to record new music for many years to come. Guitarist Bryan Potvin adds, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, and I’m increasingly proud of the fact that were still eager. There’s a youthful earnestness about what were doing right now. 

The Northern Pikes return to eastern Ontario next month with stops in Brockville at the 1000 Islands Regatta on June 30 and June 28 at the Overflow Brewing Company in Ottawa.

Tickets for the show at Overflow Brewing Company are available now in advance for $28 or you can wait and pay $33 at the door the night of the show.

Overflow offers seating for 150 and standing room for over 200 more.
