My tour ends early

I have been so busy touring this year and I haven't been blogging here much. Well our current tour was cut short last week. We were suppose to be out with 3 Doors Down this month. We have been playing shows with them off and on since May. Along with Seether, Staind and a few other bands and doing some headlining shows.

Anyway Brad, the lead singer from 3 Doors had been struggling with his voice and it turns out he has laryngitis. He was ordered to take a week off. So while he was doing this our band flew home and the crew traveled from Denver to New York where we had a headlining show early last week.

After the NY show we left and drove to Kentucky to resume the tour. We reached West Virginia and received a phone call from the 3 Doors camp. They told us to sit tight because it looked like we were going to postpone until at least Dallas.

It was decided by our management to send everyone home and wait. So here we sit. The tour has been postponed.

In the meantime we are getting ready for a Canadian headlining tour. It will be something very different from what the guys have been doing recently up there.

I have been putting together a special sized lighting package.

I have also been fighting a cough for nearly a month. It seems to go away and then come back. I think I had a cold and now it's allergy driven.
