Tickets for the March 2022 arena shows go on sale on Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. local time. The tour features stops in Toronto, Brooklyn, Boston, Hampton, Asheville, and more.

The tour announcement arrives with a new song, “No Choice”. The previously unreleased track was pulled from the forthcoming The Slow Rush deluxe box set, arriving Feb. 18 via Interscope. The set includes B-sides, like “The Boat I Row,” and remixes of the Grammy-nominated 2020 album, including the pre-album single “Patience” in its original and remixed form, and remixes of The Slow Rush.

“Being a personality onstage, that’s something I’ve been growing into,” Kevin Parker told Rolling Stone in 2019. “Saying fuck it and being that person who can rile up the audience. That’s someone I never saw myself as.”

Guitar giveaway a way for Lenape musician to give back to Indigenous youth

Playing the guitar, singing the blues, or writing songs has been a daily ritual for the past 30 years for Lenape musician Brock Stonefish of Moraviantown in southwestern Ontario.

“It saved my life,” said Stonefish.

“When I was about 13 years old, I attempted suicide. That was right around the time when I started playing guitar and it brought me back.”

Stonefish’s music has taken him across the globe, performing as a solo artist, opening for B.B. King, and touring the United States with Gary Farmer and the Troublemakers.

Now Stonefish is organizing his second Indigenous Youth Guitar Giveaway. He said it’s a way to give back, to help First Nations, Métis or Inuit youth that are struggling.

“I just want to provide that avenue for Indigenous youth, that I know that have the same problems I did when I was young on my journey through life.”

Damien Kiyoshk, 22, from Walpole Island is one of two recipients to receive a guitar from the first guitar giveaway that was organized last July. He’s been playing for two years and is an aspiring blues player.

“I was super appreciative,” he said.

“I had one previously, but it got kind of wrecked and wasn’t as good as the one that I got from Brock.”

Giving away guitars is not new to Stonefish.

“I had a guitar that I took with me when I opened for B.B. King; I gave it away to a 13-year-old about 10 years ago,” he said.

“It was a hollow body arch top guitar and I’ve given away banjos and a lot of guitars have been given to me.”

Opportunity to change a life

Stonefish has many supporters for his project, including Arne Vainio, a Native American physician from Duluth, Minn., who donated to the first project.

“He could totally change someone’s life,” said Vainio.

“I’m a Native in a…

‘Meeting of the Mayors’ gets new member

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney joined the monthly roundtable of mayors in our area.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney is the newest addition to the monthly meeting of the mayors hosted by Wilkes-Barre Mayor George Brown.

“Just exchanging ideas and you know, get to learn something from everybody,” said Kenney. “We got the infrastructure bill that’s coming and it’s going to have to be some consensus on state projects, and the northeast has similar issues that we’re dealing with. So in addition to COVID, and some of the other things you have to deal with, it’s always nice to get out of the city for a little bit exchange ideas with other people.”

The other mayors besides Wilkes-Barre’s and Philadelphia’s at the table are the mayor of Hazleton, Nanticoke, Scranton, Kingston, Williamsport, and Pittston.

“For me, the size of the city, it’s really all about numbers, issues, whether it’s COVID or budgets or police, the issues are kind of the same,” said Pittston Mayor Michael Lombardo. “It’s just what the multiplicative factor is. So it’s great to be here and exchange ideas. It’s nice to expand a group a little bit and have some different insights that will be here.”

“We don’t know everything. I mean, we can always learn from somebody and they do things differently or better. We can take that and take it back home and implement it there,” added Kenney.

Philadelphia just announced a vaccine mandate for indoor dining and sporting events to start next year—something Mayor Kenney says he’s ready to discuss, but it’s not something mayors in our area are prepared to make a decision on.

“I don’t know much about it. And hopefully, we’ll learn more today about that,” said Wilkes-Barre Mayor George Brown about the topic.

Mayor Brown is hoping to…

Munsee Leaving as Sheriff for New Role as Licensed Private Detective

Rex MunseeCLARION, Pa. (EYT) – Clarion County Sheriff Rex Munsee always wanted to be a private detective, and he’ll get his wish in January when he leaves his post after three four-year terms as sheriff and becomes a private citizen.

As a young boy, Munsee built a lifelong appreciation for comic books, but his Number One hero was Batman, “the world’s greatest detective.” The deductive reasoning employed by Bruce Wayne’s alter ego and the adventures of Sherlock Holmes stuck with Munsee throughout his career.

The experiences he gained as a 27-year state police trooper and another 12 years as sheriff did not lessen his desire to be a detective, but they were good years for him.

“The second-best job I’ve ever had is Clarion County Sheriff, and the best job I’ve ever had is with the Pennsylvania State Police,” Munsee said.

A graduate of the state police academy in 1981, he was assigned to the Shippenville barracks of the PSP. As a native of Erie County, the assignment was a surprise, and he wasn’t quite sure where Shippenville was located. Twenty-seven years later, and he knew it was home.

Rex is also opening his new detective office in his daughter’s Munsee Law Office building on the corner of Liberty Street and Fifth Avenue in the shadow of the Clarion County Courthouse.

Cassandra started her own practice, Munsee Law LLC, and specializes in Family Law. She also practices Criminal Law and Personal Injury.

Asked if he encouraged his daughter to become a lawyer, Rex offered an enthusiastic “yes.”

“She always wanted to argue all the time,” Rex said. “There’s no sense that she was arguing for free. If you’re going to argue as much with me, you might as well become an attorney and get paid to do it. So she took me…
