Bloomington Indiana's Austin Lucas is in the midst of tour of Canada and the US. Having just cleared the stage in St. Catharines the singer / songwriter will teck back to Toronto on the 18th for a recently added house show before hopping the border for a short US jaunt with The Wooden Sky. At the end of July Lucas will cross back into Canada and head west to perform at the Sled Island festival in Calgary alongside bands like Hot Water Music, The Melvins, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and Fucked Up.

Lucas is supporting 2009's Somebody Loves You as well as his new demo and b-sides collection on Suburban Home Records titled Collection. On the tour the songwriter has a new split demo available which features five new songs recorded in January plus four from his tourmate Christina Wagner. Wagners songs, one of which features Lucas as a guest, were recorded this past February by Rob McGregor at Florida's Goldentone Studios.
