They will be setting out on their second Canadian tour in early March that will see them go as far east as Winnipeg, Manitoba. After that leg of the tour, they will return and head down the west coast to play some concerts in Seattle and a few others in California before making there way back to Victoria for their grand finale end of tour show at Steamers Pub with Los Furios. One Drop have played all sorts of shows including political rallies at the Victoria Legislature, bars and pubs as well as numerous all ages shows.
