To whom it may concern:

I would like to set the public record straight as to the dealings of last night.

First, thank you so much for coming and being a part of it. I spent so much time preparing for this night, making the cds, making sure all looked well, slide show, lights (with the help and generosity of JThor Productions), promoting and having a lengthy sound check to make sure all works. Technical things aside, I was just excited as all hell to put out another cd and play a show in my home town because it always feels good.

I have been battling what seems to be the flu this whole week and although I though I’d be ok, I apparently wasn’t.

So, to set the record straight, NO I did not get drunk,wasted,sloshed or blazed. I was sick. My voice was gone during soundcheck but then started to come back during our first acoustic set, and by the last song my arm from the elbow down all the way to the tips of my fingers cramped ( which is why I stopped playing ) and my vocal cords felt like they were strung on so tight they would snap. EmergenC, flu meds, and a lost voice was my combination for disaster.

To recap: I was not drunk, or intoxicated. I was sick and still am, which is why I walked back stage and cried. This was the first show I have never finished and I am so so sorry. I feel like I’ve failed you guys, but there was no way for me to finish.

Thank you again for coming out, and if you didn’t get a chance to grab an EP, they are still for sale here on our website under the store tab.

I hope last night was not a discouragement to coming to my shows in the future. I hope I’m allowed a bad night and a sick day in this industry.

Love you all
