Canadian rockers Great Lake Swimmers will be releasing their new album “Caught Light” on October 10.  And just a few days later they will be embarking on a North American tour with Elliott BROOD, Rita Visser, Justin Wells, and Abe Partridge opening on select dates.

Great Lake Swimmers’ leader Tony Dekker spoke on the new album saying, “where I grew up in a rural part of Niagara Region, on a farm, in the back 40 there was a very small airstrip with a skydiving club. As kids, we’d see these guys jumping out of planes, five, six at a time. Once, one of them landed in the fields around our house. That was such a powerful image to me as a kid: What happens when you don’t land where you intended, when life blows you off course? The phrase ‘caught light’ refers to an unexpected situation where you don’t have as much as you thought you wanted or needed. Early on in the album process, it became apparent that would be the title track.”
