Road Report: AM Battles the Snow and Heads Into Canada

AM's distinctive melodic swagger is so impressive that it convinced French electro-pop duo Air to take the multi-instrumentalist out on their North American tour. Now AM is spreading his global sound around the country in support of his sophomore album 'Future Sons & Daughters.'

The New Orleans native will be checking in with personal notes and photos all along his 12-date run with Air. In his latest Road Report, AM talks about heading north into Canada and braving the winter weather that came with the trek.

As we left sunny and warm Boston for Canada the weather seemed to change immediately. By the time we hit the Canadian boarder it was a full on snow storm. We got detained at the boarder for three hours (no comment), but once we got to Montreal we hit the streets to check out some of the great architecture and forgot about the 10 plus hours it took us to get there.

Montreal's crowd was great. Very international and eager to listen. The highlight of Canada though was definitely Toronto. We had some killer comfort food at this restaurant next to the venue called T&P (Teasers and Pleasers). It sounded more like a strip club than a restaurant, but the food was tasty. The Toronto crowd was so enthusiastic. Ready for a party, yet still totally respectful. We had to hit the road immediately after the show and start the treacherous drive to Chicago. Once we arrived at the beautiful Riviera Theatre it was all worth it, though. They had an amazing spread of food and drink waiting for us and the show was a near sell-out.
