BlogTO has a story online today detailing Julie’s newest ventureL

As a celebrated Canadian indie musician, Julie Doiron is best known for her involvement in Eric’s Trip as well as her Juno award winning collaboration with the Wooden Stars. But these days she’s taking time out from her busy music career to teach yoga. In Toronto.

Doiron has been practicing Ashtanga yoga for 9 years. After receiving her teachers certificate this fall she began teaching two regular classes every Monday; one at a new studio called Bohemian Palace ($16, 9am) in Roncesvalles and another at Twisted Yoga Studio (PWYC, 7:30pm) in the Annex.

Stopped in at Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Co. today in Prince Edward County. They have a new cheese on their menu called, Morning Moon. I asked if it was a Tragically Hip cheese and she replied, “Yes and no. It’s more a Gord Downie cheese.”

We bought a wedge of it and will enjoy it this evening.

In case you missed it, the episode featuring Gord Downie & The Country Of Miracles is available for viewing online. Check it out on CMT.ca now!

AUX Presents: City and Colour takes you behind the scenes with singer/songwriter Dallas Green as he performs with friends and collaborators Tegan and Sara and Gord Downie live in Toronto. From soundcheck to encore, this intimate television special is a not to be missed all access concert experience. Watch it on AUX TV (Rogers 107 and Shaw 138).

Today, in honour of his upcoming appearance at the Hillside Festival in Guelph, the Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show! is pleased to welcome Gord Downie to the program at 8:05 AM EST.

We’ve been having a great time out on the road, and looking forward to our own tour this fall. Since our last update, there have been a few more stops added along the way. We’ve added shows for our friends on the east coast, and just announced today, we will be playing the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto on November 5th.

In our recent travels we stopped by the Dakota Tavern and recorded a few tracks. Check out the Dakota Sessions on CMT this Saturday, July 17th at 10pm.
