Brockway Biggs to tour Canada
ECMA-winning rapper embarks on 100-day 'In Awe of Simplicity' Trek
Ottawa, ON - April 24, 2008: Ottawa/Fredericton rapper, Brockway Biggs will embark on a 100-day 'In Awe of Simplicity Tour' scheduled for May, June and July of 2008. The tour is in support of his third album, 'In Awe of Simplicity,' released in August of 2007.
Fittingly, he'll depart on his trek from Brockway, NB; move west to the southern most tip of Canada at Point Pelee National Park; proceed to the western most part of the Trans-Canada Highway in Tofino, BC; then back east to Newfoundland; and finally conclude in his current home of Ottawa. Biggs' provides an innovative twist to conventional touring wisdom by planning to enjoy the "simplicity" of stops at 25+ National Parks.
Inspiration for the tour comes from two unlikely sources: Canadian fiddling legend Don Messer and Canadian rock icon, Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar / Grady.
"Gordie is a big fan of my live show. His belief in my music provided me with the extra push to follow in his footsteps in touring Canada. I'm also blessed to have Don Messer as a Great Great Uncle because I've heard many great things about him as a person and a performer. His success was nearly unparalleled for his time, so I began exploring biographies and National Film Board footage to see how he got his start."
Radio shows, house parties and sponsorship played crucial roles in the success of Don's early career. In that vein, Biggs' 3-month tour will center upon festivals, house parties and 40+ appearances on hip-hop radio shows across the country. "I track every campus hip-hop show in Canada on my website, so I'm looking forward to meeting all of these people I've been in touch with over the years."
Biggs is no stranger to the big screen with national performances on CBC TV, MusiquePlus, CTV's Breakfast Television, Global Noon, the Canada Winter Games and CityTV. He won an East Coast Music Award in 2005 and has garnered award nominations from the Urban Music Association of Canada (2000) and Ontario Independent Music Association (2007).
In addition, his annual Canadian hip-hop compilations spend weeks charting in the top 10 Canadian campus hip-hop charts. His marketing and promotion company, Brockway Entertainment, has assisted dozens of independent hip-hop artists over the years.
