Snow In June 2023-06-02 (Acoustic)

The Northern Pikes Unveil Acoustic-Driven Revamp of Title Track from Platinum Snow In June.
The legendary Northern Pikes, whose classic catalog of songs continue reverberating across Canadian pop culture, have released an acoustic-oriented version of the title track from its 1990 Platinum-selling Snow In June. It’s the final single ahead of the release of TIME to TIME, The Pikes’ new album that also acoustically-revisits many other revered tunes from the original LP.
“Snow In June” is the most mercurial and complex piece in the band’s oeuvre. The TIME to TIME version builds on the original, serving as the most produced track on the otherwise stripped-down record. The Pikes snuck some electric guitar and electronics into it, making it the centerpiece of the upcoming album.
“This is my favourite outcome from TIME to TIME,” said Bryan Potvin, lead guitarist and vocalist on the track. “We didn’t mess with the structure of the song, but the choice of instruments, including dobro, mandolin, and banjo, gave it a different overall feeling. We chose to go beyond the acoustic focus on this one and let our co-producer, John D.S. Adams, and keyboardist Glenn Patscha spin their magic on it. In some ways, I now prefer this version to the original.”
Snow In June (Acoustic) lyric video created and directed by The Pikes’ guitarist and co-vocalist Kevin Kane.
TIME to TIME, which also features three brand-new songs, hits digital platforms and store shelves on June 9, 2023.

I am 51 years old. The 90's were the heyday of Canadian music and the Pikes were one of the best. Icons.

Love it! Carry on gentlemen! Thanks for the great tunes, can't remember if it is 30 minutes or 30 years!

Beautiful reinterpretation of your song.
Initially, I wasn't a big fan but after many listens during the early 90s, I learned to appreciate the poignant depth.
On June 1, 1998, my wife and I did a road trip across Canada and it was snowing when we left Manitoba and hit the Ontario border.
While driving, I sang the line:
"Now and then
It seems to happen
Time to time
Snow in June"
Thanks for the great song and memory.

Loved the Pikes day one. Was lucky to see you guys play in Fort Erie at the friendship festival not long after you released Snow In June.
