All involved have been pulling hard on trying to pull tonight off but the storm has put so many at risk. Myself, Ryan Girth and Floyd Willis have been in contact all morning and with the information provided by the venue, we have collectively decided on the obvious. Please stay safe. And if you can raise a toast to Chris tonight

As for tomorrow and Sunday's show, I am in contact with White Oak Music Hall and Rudyard's. We will make the call on those shows as soon as possible. These shows were a collective effort and all involved need to be in the loop. That is the reason why it's taking as long as it has to give the proper information.
