Just as spring began to do its thing here in the Pioneer Valley, Brandon Marger found himself  heading north right back into a winter wonderland. The destination was the Sunday River Ski Resort in Newry, Maine, where he was scheduled to play a pair of shows on an outdoor stage at the base of the ski slopes with Changes In Latitudes.

After returning from a three week tour of Florida little more than a week ago, and with barely enough time to wash all of that dirty laundry, the first weekend in March found Brandon Marger once again climbing back into the Changes in Latitudes van, this time heading west to Pennsylvania.

Brandon Marger spent much of the month of February on tour in Florida with Changes In Latitudes. The basic stats were fourteen shows at eleven venues over the course of sixteen days. But as usual, the numbers don’t even come close to telling the whole story.

On Friday August 31 Brandon Marger returned to the Newport Naval Station with Changes In Latitudes, where they performed an outdoor show for station personnel and their families. The view from the stage was nothing short of spectacular, with the Newport Bridge arching over Narragansett Bay while the sun set in a blaze of glory in the background.

On Saturday August 18 Brandon Marger returned to the Lock 3 Amphitheater in Akron OH with Changes In Latitudes. But to get there on time they had to drive straight through the night from their last gig in Western NY.

Brandon Marger was scheduled twice earlier this summer for shows at Tag’s Budweiser Summer Stage in Big Flats NY, but thunder, lightning, flash-floods and tornadoes prevented the show from going on. But the third time was the charm, and Brandon finally got to perform at this major Western NY concert venue.
