Thrush Hermit Reunion Tour
When: Wednesday, September 25. 7:30 pm.
Where: The Playhouse
Two decades after they disbanded, Joel Plaskett, Rob Benvie, Cliff Gibb and Ian McGettigan have reunited for a limited tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their critically acclaimed final album Clayton Park—one of the best albums to come out of Canada in the 90s. Although the Halifax-based alt-rock quartet only released two albums, their brief run left an indelible mark on the Canadian music scene while building a lasting reputation for their frantic and unhinged live performances.
Tickets are on sale now through The Playhouse box office and cost $34 each.
