Oakville teenagers Elyse Simpson, Chris Flynn and Kira Montfort will spend the next few months touring and performing in Montreal, Ottawa and New York. The tour, called Go Tour or Go Home, kicks off on Sept. 4 with a concert and Simpsons folk fusion CD release party at Oakvilles Roxys. The 17-year-old was recently selected as one of Canadas Top 20 Under 20. The tour will span some three months, over which time the trio will perform in about 30 shows. Some of the venues will include Montreal's Mariposa Cafe, Ottawa's Rainbow Bistro and New York's National Underground. But there is more to this tour than mak- ing a name for themselves on a national and international level. It is also about getting a close look at the not-so-glamorous life on the road and showing it to the world. Simpson will be directing the filming of a documentary series, which will focus on the trios adventure. Rounding out the group will be videographer Luke Van Loenen from Dundas, Ontario, who will record the trip. The 30-year-old shot the 2005 Iron Maiden tour. The public view of the music industry is very dramatic, Simpson said in a press release. A lot of people expect this musician devil-may-care attitude but the majority of people are hard working dedicated individu- als doing their job. That is what I want to show through the documentary series, the slightly unglamorous events that are the humanity within the music industry. Simpson said she hopes the series will eventually end up on television in the new year. We want to show the world what we did and our perspective of the industry that its not just sex, drugs and rock n roll. There is that hard working side, there is that human- ity to the industry, she said in an interview with the Beaver. Simpson, a musician, entrepreneur and a recent Iroquois Ridge High School graduate, won the Top 20 Under 20 national award for her work at her own music label. She began Jangle Records to help young, unsigned up-and-coming artists like herself get established in the industry.
