Tony Dekker in Conversation with The Globe and Mail

Bringing Music to Your Backyard and New Upcoming Tour Dates Across North America and Europe

Last week, Tony chatted with Brad Wheeler for The Globe and Mail about his recently announced invitation for fans to host him in their spaces (think backyard, cottage or deck) for private solo concerts.

"Forget the amphitheatres and concert halls, Tony Dekker is coming to a cottage or campfire near you, if you will have him," reads the opening line of the article.

From there, Tony and Brad delve deep into the details of just what exactly fans can expect from these performances, including what cover songs might be on the table.

And to give any visual learners a better idea of what to expect, Tony recorded his rendition of Gordon Lightfoot’s “Carefree Highway” to really paint a picture. Take a listen below.
