Same Latitude As Rome
Fergus, Ontario
Same Latitude As Rome came to life in Essex County in early 2007, as a band concept to support the award winning songwriting craft of Peter Boyer. Named after the location of the most southerly point in Canada, inside Point Pelee National Park, Same Latitude As Rome performed throughout Essex County at bars, festivals, charitable events, and Windsor Folk open mikes, and later throughout southern Ontario as audiences grew. Fast forward to today, and many song writing awards, and six Cds later, Same Latitude As Rome is staying the course! Same Latitude As Rome charted at #34 nationally in 2015 with their last release “Early Days”, and appeared on several folk DJ best of 2015 lists, including Album of the Year on Blues and Roots Radio. After a three year hiatus, they’re back! - - Peter Boyer
