Topic: New Tab Postings
A Trew Holiday Gift is a four song digital EP that was released in 2011. It was included as a free bonus for anyone buying The Trews' Hope and Ruin album from the band's online store. The EP featured the Christmas song "Coming Home". Lead singer/rhythm guitarist Colin MacDonald spoke about the song in a December 2011 interview with The Casket, a weekly newspaper published in Antigonish, Nova Scotia (The Trews' hometown):"It is a song for people working away, whether it is people who work up in Fort McMurray for months at a time and only get to come home on holidays and stuff. Or even guys like us who are touring 250 days out of the year. (The song is about) coming back to what's important at Christmas time." (http://www.thecasket.ca/archives/14795)
Having enjoyed two great live shows by The Trews this past summer, I decided to tab their Christmas song this holiday season. With this posting, the Canadian Tabs page of the site has also hit the century mark, with "Coming Home" being the 100th tablature added to that page.
