Comments Off on Tour Dates with Paul Federici
by Mike Vial

Super excited to have my friend Paul Federici stay with us in Howell and join me for a week of Michigan shows! Here are the dates we will be playing together this week:

Thursday, May 10 – Cafe 1923, Hamtramck, MI (6:30 PM) – info
Friday, May 11 – Wrought Iron Grill, Owosso, MI (8 PM) – info
Saturday, May 12 – Rust Belt Market, Ferndale, MI (3:15 PM) – info

Sunday, May 13 – Raven Cafe – Port Huron, MI (6 PM) – info





Paul and I met last fall at Catherine North Studios when we were both working on projects with producer Michael Chambers. His first release is a beautiful arrangement of reflective themes with similarity of City and Colour. The songs with Kirk Starkey  on cello are captivating. (Kirk also played on my song “I Will.”)

I’m exciting to bring Paul here for his first musical appearance in Michigan. He’s one of those kind-hearted Canadians who you can become friends with after a 20 minute conversation, and it’s been a blessing to have friends across the Ambassador Bridge who are passionate about music and art.

Paul invited me to play at his CD Release show in St. Catherines in January! I survived a snow storm on the 402 making my commute a 9 hour drive to get there for a fun night of music. Fortunately, Paul should have better weather traveling to Michigan!
