The question of ‘ retirement from music has yet to be answered in an official capacity. Despite previously lamenting that the climate wasn’t interested in a new project from the once-revered punchline king, the glowing reception certainly proved otherwise. The support became so motivational that recently confirmed that , heavily implying a new project was in the pipeline.

This very night, Banks will be hitting up Quebec, Canada, for a stop at The Bud Shack’s 4:20 party. On February 7th, he’ll be hitting up Sault Ste. Marie Ontario, Canada. Rounding things out is a show in Sudbury Ontario, Canada, on February 8th. It’s unclear what drew him to these particular markets rather than the expected Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto stops, but it’s still great to see Banks once again hitting the road. 

Hopefully this string heralds the arrival of a fully-fleshed out tour, possibly even coinciding with the release of some new music. . Check out further details  Banks’ IG page below.
