Additional Clarifications From The Hood…
Just posted on the DBT Facebook page of which I should really make a permanent link to here as it’s something that you need to bookmark. And don’t you just love the phrase additional clarifications from the hood:
YALL:
About to cross into Canada but wanted to post a note about a couple of
things.
On my previous note, I mentioned Bloodkin opening for us in Asheville and
their completion of a 4 disc box set.
I said that it was an overview of their five year history, but that was a
typo on my part.
25 YEARS!!! Big Difference and a big shout to any artists that can put up
with each other for that long.
The Box Set is going to be massive and shows how consistent Danny’s
writing has been for so long.
KUDOS.
My apologies to the folks in Wilkes-Barre. I had never been there and was
looking forward to the show.
Just to be clear, the Letterman thing was actually a separate thing.
The Kirby Center is a very big venue and ticket sales were slow and we
made the tough decision to cancel.
The economics of keeping a show this size on the road in this economy can
be a brutal thing, but we all try to do the best we can.
We’ve had a record number of sell out shows this year (Missoula MT on a
tuesday night, yeehaw!) but sometimes things just don’t work out.
Letterman offered up a show on a different date and we were trying to
figure out how to make that work when it became apparent that Wilkes-Barre
wasn’t going to happen so it all fell in place from there. Sorry for
anyone who was inconvenienced but sometimes these things happen and it’s
beyond our control.
Onward, the tour has otherwise been going really well. Great seeing
Alejandro Saturday and we’re excited about the Canadian shows. (Wes’
poster for that is so excellent) and of course it will be amazing seeing
Pete Seeger again (still bringing it at 92!)
Thank you for your support and patience.
See you at The Go-Go.
