I’m very sad to announce that I have to cancel my upcoming Europe tour. It was a very difficult decision to make.
I have been touring for nearly thirty years, and this is the first tour that I’ve ever had to cancel. I love playing shows and getting out into the world. I love connecting with the people who listen to my music in the places where they live. There isn’t a greater honor for me. I wouldn’t do this unless I absolutely had to.
Recently I’ve had numerous personal and financial setbacks. The margins for independent musicians in 2025 are incredibly slim, so it’s difficult for a person like me to absorb any substantial losses. I was still down to make this tour happen regardless. Money (the lack of it specifically) has never stopped me from putting out music or touring it.
But the real stomach punch came last week. A family member of mine passed away unexpectedly. It became clear to me that I should not leave the country but stay here and tend to family matters. I’m exhausted and grieving, and I’m not really fit for a month on the road.
Thanks to the promoters who booked me. Thanks to my wonderful friends who bought tickets. I’m sorry we can’t see each other now.
Much love to all of you, and I hope you understand.
