Two Hours Traffic
Nighthawks Cross Canada Tour
CBC Radio 3 Presents Bumstead Recording Artists From Charlottetown, PEI

March 07 @ Doc Willoughby’s w/ Dustin Bentall

2007 was an incredible year for Two Hours Traffic. After releasing their Joel Plaskett produced second full length album “Little Jabs” in July, the band found themselves the proud makers of one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year. Little Jabs has appeared on numerous top ten lists while the band won two PEI Music Awards, a CBC Radio 3 Bucky Award for Best Road Trip Song, and currently hold down 3 East Coast Music Award nominations. The album stayed on the top 20 national college chart for 10 weeks, (are STIIL on charts 6 months later), and it hit # 1 on the CBCR3 30 Chart in September staying in the top 5 for 4 straight weeks. Two Hours Traffic was voted the #13 Hottest Band In Canada in the annual year end iheartmusic poll, had 3 songs on recent episodes of the TV show Gossip Girl, as well as songs on Smallville, The Ghost Whisperer and The OC.

Two Hours Traffic released 2 videos for songs that were very well received at Commercial Radio and are about to release a 3rd one for the song Nighthawks. Two Hours Traffic crossed Canada from coast to coast in the fall playing with bands the likes of Sloan and The Joel Plaskett Emergency. And they are about to cross it again.

Sunday Night – Josh Ritter at Doc’s

Okay, so I’ve been posting about this show since I first found out early last month. I’ve been listening to Josh since he played Kelowna 3 years ago with Sarah Harmer.

To everyone that has a ticket, you’re in for a treat. Stop by Doc’s to get your ticket in advance.

Emm Gryner is opening up! She’s a cool artist that played Doc’s last year, and she was great in David Bowie’s backing band 4-5 years ago.

Cheers! See you there.
