Regular visitors of this site will probably recognize Common Loon. They performed Madison Pop Fest two years ago on the Muzzle of Bees stage, and, more recently, earned a bunch of new fans with their Cactus Club show during Radio Summer Camp.

While no release date has been set, expect their debut album, The Long Dream of Birds to arrive early 2010 via Parasol Records. In the meantime, Common Loon will be touring through the Midwest later this month including stops in Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago.
