"let there be songs, to fill the air...La La La La" - Robert Hunter
TORONTO, August 18th, 2009 After a summer of canoe tripping, music fests and campfire concerts, Toronto-based acoustic roots rocker Dave Borins and harmonicist/ slide player Jordan Safer (Urban Preacher) will tour across Canada from sea to shining sea.

With the onstage energy of Neil Young and Joel Plaskett, the humor of Louden Wainwright, and the wisdom of Townes Van Zandt , Borins has been gaining a lot of attention in Toronto where he was nominated for "Best Live Acoustic Performer" and "Best Folk Artist" at the 2008 "Toronto Indie Music Awards." He has played to sold out audiences in NY city, and all over Southern Ontario. His 100th show was celebrated in 2009 with a sell out Debut at Toronto's storied "Hugh's Room."

Launching in September 2009, the four-month music and media tour will promote Borins EP entitled Lucky Ones and mark Daves first set of performances east of Quebec and west of Ontario.

"how can I call myself a canadian performing artist if I haven't covered the land from coast to coast? To me, music is the spouse of discovery, I intend nuture that relationship on this road. thats why we're taking the time to stop in national parks, and sleep in the houses of strangers."

"The Lucky Ones, a five-song EP, fuses the warmth of late 60's Island Record releases with a modern country/roots flair. Sometimes jaunty, sometimes melancholy, but always familiar..... a testament to his ease on the stage and command of the space. No studio is needed to weave Borins' magic; he's got it naturally." - Lucid Forge - Canadian Arts and Entertainment Mag
