Rich Aucoin - May 4, 2008 - Artist of the Day - His Amazing Journey

GJK Promotions proudly presents, Rich Aucoin from Halifax, Nova Scotia as Artist of the Day.

Rich Aucoin plays indie and pop music. Rich is a one-man show of more than 25 instruments rolled into a big-sound indie-pop album which can also be synced to a childhood classic, Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (taken from his cd baby). Rich Aucoin had a alternative approach last summer to touring Canada. Rich decided that he was going to start in Victoria, British Columbia (on the opposite side of Canada) and BIKE (yeap a bicycle not the motor kind) his way back to Halifax, Nova Scotia. His inspiration was his father and the Icecream Man http://www.icecreamman.com/. All the time, Rich was fundraising for the Childhood Cancer Foundation http://www.candlelighters.ca/ along the way. You can read all about his journey on The Coast http://thecoast.ca/1bloglistingsbody.lasso?-token.blogref=3585.113118&-token.sorttargetorder=Descending&-token.sorttarget=Title&-skiprecords=50 (I could only find the blog that started on Blog 10 and ended with Blog 54 somewhere in the middle I did find blog 7 and 8, hmmm, but there are 6 pages worth of pics and summaries, some are pretty hilarious, so don't foget to check it out).

Rich is an amazing musician that thinks outside the box.
