Vancouver singer/songwriter Jeremy Fisher will release Goodbye Blue Monday, the follow-up to 2005's Let It Shine, on March 27.

The Hawksley Workman-produced LP, which will be released by Aquarius Records in Canada, is Fisher's first since his split from Sony BMG last year.

"We don't have a home for the record yet in the US," Fisher wrote recently on his MySpace blog, "but we're hoping to have the record up on iTunes for all to buy down there in the meantime."

Fisher's been promoting the daylights out of his new tracks, using some low, low budget videos, two ubiquitous trend-setting websites and a little ingenuity. The homemade clip for first single "Cigarette," which reportedly cost $20 to produce, has garnered more than one million views on YouTube since being slapped onto the site's main page in February. The video for album track "Scar That Never Heals" has been featured on MySpace's video page.

The success of these videos should reel in a few more prospective audience members for Fisher's upcoming tour, which he'll co-headline with recent Canadian Radio Music Award recipient and Juno Award nominee, Tomi Swick. Here are their dates:

April 9 Vancouver, BC @ Richard's On Richards
April 10 Grande Prairie, AB @ BJ's
April 11 Calgary, AB @ MacEwan Hall
April 12 Edmonton, AB @ Starlite Room
April 13 Saskatoon, SK @ Louis Pub
