He has toured throughout North and South America, Europe and Australia.[3][4] He employs experimental recording techniques on his albums, and is noted for audience involvement and interaction at his performances.[3] Aucoin has released five critically acclaimed studio LPs and EPs and singles and has won several Canadian awards, including the Sirius XM Indie Awards' Emerging Artist of the Year.[5]
