The band sets off again on a 15 city tour with the singular mission to relieve the pressure the economy is creating on fellow Canadians through humour.
The tour will kick off May 1st at the Aultsville Theatre in Cornwall and then a return visit to Kingston where their careers began on May 2nd, finally wrapping up at one of the largest venues in Oakville on June 20th.
London LCMT: May 29
The Arrogant Worms (Mike McCormick, Chris Patterson and Trevor Strong) have sold more than 150,000 copies of their 12 albums and played on three continents to crowds as large as 100,000. Recognized in 2003 as the Touring Act of the Year by the Canadian Arts Presenters Association, The Worms songs are in school lesson plans, in textbooks and even played on the Space Shuttle. On earth or in space, everyone digs these Worms. Canada’s public offered the best praise so far by selecting their song “Canada Is Big” as one of the songs for newly elected President of the United States, Barack Obama.
So The Arrogant Worms continue to provide tuneful and silly escapism for everyone who needs it. And if you think you don't need it, well you're wrong. You do. Especially now!

Jay Calder (Opening Act)
The guitar has been a passion for Jay Calder for most of his life. He led worship bands for years as a pastor, but it wasn’t until Jay started listening to artists like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Phil Keaggy and other finger-style guitar virtuosos that he discovered a new creative pallet for his own compositions. A few months after Jay's first solo guitar CD, "Breakfast With Barnabas" was released, it was nominated at the Canadian Vibe Awards as "Instrumental Album of the Year". He began performing solo guitar in a variety of venues in southern Ontario where he received “Best Acoustic Artist” at the Toronto Independent Music Awards. Jay now travels across Canada playing (and sometimes speaking) at concerts, worship events and church services. |
