JUNO award-winning, powerhouse rock outfit Crown Lands are eager to embark on their most impactful US tour to date. The duo of Cody Bowles (vocals, drums) and Kevin Comeau (guitar, bass, keys) will join the 2022 ‘Dreams In Gold’ arena tour, supporting the one and only Greta Van Fleet! Crown Lands will begin their run on the tour on October 18 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Commenting on these upcoming shows, Cody & Kevin share:
“We’re very much looking forward to playing in the US again! It’s been years. We’ve missed the culture, the interstates, and the people. It’s an honour to be opening up for Greta Van Fleet. They opened the door for rock music to penetrate the mainstream in our generation. It feels like a natural fit. So many fans have called for us to tour together for years. It feels good to be making it happen!”
The Canadian prog-rockers go on to address making their return to the states this year, saying:
“Touring the USA right now is one of the hardest things a band can do. It has become absurdly expensive when you factor in fuel, hotels, Van maintenance, crew wages, work permit costs (trust me this is a big one). Not to mention the risk of covid and other illnesses when playing to arenas full of people. It’s a beautiful and risky endeavour. All of this, plus 8-hour drives each day to get on stage for a half hour. That time on stage is why we do it. We believe it’s worth it. We are a live band. It’s in our blood. This is why we do it! See you on the road.”

ABOUT CROWN LANDS
Juno-Award winning rock-duo, Crown Lands’ self-titled debut album, produced by Grammy-nominated Dave Cobb, was released in the summer of 2020, to widespread acclaim from the likes of Guitar World, Kerrang!, and American Songwriter; coverage from the BBC and the CBC. Crown Lands then stormed into 2021 with two songs, “Context: Fearless Pt. 1” and “Right Way Back,” that returned them to their prog-rock roots and pointed the way to a limitless future, while also connecting the group to their legendary countrymen, Rush, after working with three prolific Rush producers – Terry Brown, Nick Raskulinecz and David Bottrill – on the tracks. “Context: Fearless Pt. 1” and “Right Way Back” premiered with Rolling Stone and were named “Rockest Record of the Week” on BBC Radio 1. Shortly after, Crown Lands received their first Juno Award nominations, for Rock Album of the Year and taking home the award for Breakthrough Group of the Year. Crown Lands continued their collaboration with Bottrill, releasing four more tracks they had worked on with him in the form of White Buffalo which included the mission-driven title track, “White Buffalo” which was presented as the third installment of a trilogy of songs addressing Indigenous rights. The series of songs connect the past with “Mountain,” the present with “End of the Road” while “White Buffalo” aspires to a prosperous future. Most recently, Crown Lands released their first-ever live record, Odyssey Volume 1 which celebrates songs from their emergent discography to date.
Hailing from Southwestern Ontario, powerhouse Canadian rock duo Crown Lands is a startlingly fresh jolt of energy, making music that brings together a range of influences
from folk and blues to psychedelic prog rock. The group’s name is indicative of their
musical ambitions: “Crown Land” is territorial area belonging to the monarch—or, as
Bowles (whose own heritage is half Mi’kmaw, an Indigenous tribe from Nova Scotia)
puts it: “Crown Land is stolen land and we are reclaiming.
