*2008 SUMMER TOUR PRESS RELEASE*
Canadian born Singer-Songwriter Elke Robitaille is hitting the road again this summer. Along with husband; bass player JP Downer, the acoustic-duo will travel from coast to coast across the United States and Canada throughout May to early September 2008.
The Elke Robitaille Duo recently completed a 4 month entertainment contract at sea with Princess Cruises on the Diamond Princess, Hawaiian Island Cruise. The Duo gave over 100 performances in the Diamonds' Wheelhouse Bar. After well earning their 'sea-legs', the musicians are ready to get their show back on the 'road'.
The Summer Tour will start in Elke's home town of Powell River, BC at Local Loco's. A tour kick-off show is scheduled for April 25th. From there, Elke and JP will travel East across the United States and then make their way back West across Canada. Shows will be scheduled to take place in approximately 45 States and 9 Provinces. The duo will be taking to the stage at a variety of venues from cafes, pubs, lounges, farmers markets, and street festivals. The duo are no strangers to life on the road. They have already completed one tour of Canada where they played in 5 Provinces and 25 cities. They have also performed extensively on the West Coast from British Columbia down to California, and Elke has brought her solo-acoustic act to Nashville and New York.
The Elke Robitaille Duo look forward to being on the road again, and they hope this 4 month tour will help them gain exposure to a broader audience from coast to coast. They will be promoting Elke's sophomore acoustic album: Naive, as well as her debut album: Doors, and an array of brand new merchandise including t-shirts, tanks and stickers.

*PRESS / REVIEWS*
"Elke's music is the kind of melodic and edgy stuff that changes hearts and affects lives in a deep and romantic way... Her spark is shining bright." ~DJ Richie the Rishi, ArtistFirst Radio Network
"Elke produces a rhythmic acoustic sound that features strong pop hooks and matches the quality of plaintive honesty one hears in her voice. She is tough, challenging, profane and confident." ~Rick Alan Rice, RARWRITER.COM
"Listeners will appreciate the therapeutic songwriting Elke has put into this album. [Naive] The lyrics are soulful melodies that are catchy, drawn out and enough to leave you full until the CD starts again." ~Heather Corcoran, CoffeeHouseTour.com
"Elke has a unique ability to vocalize the incoheremt musings of the soul. She is raw, pure, and prematurely wise with her quirky and seductive point of view. A gift to what is left of the folk genre in its truest state, Elke deserves to be heard." ~Jennifer Biggio
"The sensuality Elke shares with her “Naïve†release is part addictive and part habit-forming. In other words…..I’m hooked. The easy, laid back acoustic sound is nicely enhanced by a non-invasive percussion." ~Annette Warner, GoGirlsMusic.com
