Van Dyke Parks himself will be performing at this year’s Pop Montreal festival on Thursday, September 30th. Not only will he be performing, but he’ll be hosting a song-writing workshop earlier in the day so that the masses might get a chance to imbibe some of his knack for crafting catchy melodies. Our very own Van Dyke Parks 33 1/3 by Richard Henderson was published earlier this summer, which you can read all about here. Rumor has it there will be some of the books for sale at the merch table at the show on Thursday night.
He's also playing at the Music Gallery in Toronto tonight (Wednesday).
