PunkBands.com is reporting that Greg MacPherson is working on songs for an upcoming full length tentatively titled 47 Minutes. Greg reportedly starts a series of studio sessions in Toronto and Winnipeg this week, with recording and mixing expected to conclude in August. No word yet if these are solo efforts or with a full band, in the past Greg's been backed in the studio by members of the Weakerthans. MacPherson recently released an acoustic EP on the G7 titled Maintenance [review].

Greg will be appearing at both the Winnipeg and Regina Folk Festivals this summer. He'll be playing a series of workshops and solo concerts from July 9th to July 11th at the Winnipeg Festival. The Regina schedule has yet to be confirmed.
