BRUCE PENINSULA Thursday (June 16), 1 am, at the Rivoli. See listing.
It’s been a tough year for Bruce Peninsula, but they’re hoping to bounce back at NXNE. The Toronto folk-prog orchestra were finally ready to make good on anticipation for their sophomore LP, Open Flames, when singer/guitarist Neil Haverty was diagnosed with leukemia. His cancer’s now in remission, and this Rivoli set is his first show back with the band. Expect to hear material from the new record, scheduled for September.
