Squid in Chains Canadian tour in the fall

I’m proud to announce that my great trio with François Houle and Douglas Schmidt, Squid in Chains, will tour Canada in the fall. These will be our first public performances. It was really hard to start a music ensemble during the COVID pandemic, and then try to get ourselves established while so many concert presenters were busy playing catchup.

But here we are! If you don’t know the group yet, you can find our more at https://squidinchains.ca

Squid in Chains is:

• François Houle (basset clarinet and electronics)

• Douglas Schmidt (bandoneon and electronics)

• John Oliver (synthesizers and samplers)

Here’s a track from our album Drifting.

WINNIPEG: Tuesday October 6, Desautels Concert Hall , Faculty of Music, University of Manitoba. The first concert of the Groundswell season.

MONTREAL: Thursday November 5, Espace Ste Hilda , 6341 Av. De Lorimier. Hosted by Le Vivier

OTTAWA: Friday November 6, 2026 Ottawa New Music Festival

SALTSPRING ISLAND, BC: November 12, All saints Church. Hosted by Of Sound Minds
