Great Lake Swimmers have recently just announced the anticipated release of the band’s fourth album, set for early Spring 2009.
They’re also gearing up for the premiere of the Great Lake Swimmers HD Concert Special, which was filmed last September in Toronto. On Nov. 5, the hour-long episode will be screened at select Cineplex Odeon Theaters (all in Canada), alongside the Joel Plaskett Emergency Concert Special.
In the meantime, they’ve worked in a handful of concert dates. The four U.S. performances will take place later this month, in New York and Massachussetts. The band will play Canada during the month leading up to their big-screen debut.
