        New Whitehorse Covers EP: The Road to Massey Hall

        Local Singer/Songwriter duo Whitehorse (Luke Doucet and Mellisa McClelland) wanted to do something special to celebrate their current tour.  Since their travels would take them to Massey Hall for the first time, celebrating the legendary venue seemed appropriate.

        As a result, Whitehorse's fans are being treated to The Road to Massey Hall EP.   Luke and Mellisa put their own unique stamp on classic songs from performers that have played the fabled Toronto landmark.

        Songs include Neil Young's Winterlong, Gordon Lightfoot's If You Could Read My Mind, Dark Angel by Blue Rodeo, Bob Dylan's It Ain't Me Babe, Strawberry Blonde by Ron Sexsmith and Un Canadien Errant, a french-language song written in the mid 1800s.

        The amazing EP is availble as a download on iTunes or Six Shooter Records.
