TOUR CHANGE - the official word is now out!

Now that it's official, I can fill you all in on what has been going on! On July 5th at the show in Milwaukee, WI we got word that Joe Elliot's father was on his death bed. Joe is the lead singer for Def Leppard and he had decided to fly home to England (another piece of trivia, Def Leppard is a British band) to be with his father in his final days. Unfortunately, Joe's father died within the week. Our hearts go out to him and his family.

Without the lead singer for the band, the tour had to be suspended but we just got the official word that we are starting back up on July 27th in Cincinnati, OH! Below is the revised tour schedule:

Important things to note: (1) The Texas, Louisanna and Oklahoma dates have changed to the end of September (2) the tour has been extended to September to Saturday, September 24th when originally it was to end on the 15th of that month (3) Heart will not be performing at the Dallas show in August so we may not attend that show, I will keep all posted (4) the tour remains the same from August 10th to September 15th as previously scheduled so if you were interested in shows within that date range you are in the clear!

So what have we been doing during this break, you may ask? We have been staying in the backwoods of southern Indiana in a cabin that belongs to Evan's parents. There is no internet or television out there so we have been swimming, fishing, canoeing and in general resting. Believe it or not, Evan and I are both itching to get back on the road!
