[POSTPONED: February 4, 2022] Courtney Barnett / Shamir [moved to …]
S. and
I were looking forward to this show although we both groaned a bit when we saw it didn’t START until 9PM. Good grief.
Weather forecasts for this even were treacherous. Freezing rains and temperatures that were expected to drop below freezing did not bode well for an hour plus drive. We were fairly certain we were going to skip it. We love Courtney and our friend Kaylo recently saw this tour and said it was great, but we have seen her before and it just seemed too risky.
Then, just before I left work, we got the notice that the show had been postponed. I sort of assumed at first that it was because of the weather, but concerts can’t do that. A little while later I saw on Instagram that someone in her touring company caught COVID:
So sorry to announce that we are postponing the rest of the shows on our USA tour due to a positive Covid result this morning. My team are working hard to reschedule dates, so if you can hold on to your tickets in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, New Haven and Burlington we’ll have news for you very soon. Apologies to everybody looking forward to these shows, we are heartbroken but so grateful that we’ve been able to play the shows we have. Big love to my band and crew.
So our problem was solved. I feel bad for Courtney and hope everyone if fine, but this was a nice solution to the problem for us.
Originally the tour sad we were supposed to have Julia Jacklin open up, but the last thing I saw w were going to see Shamir, which was an upgrade as far as I was concerned. I’ve been wanting to see Shamir for a while and never seen to be able to (clearly that’s why this show was cancelled–the Shamir effect).
I assume these last few shows will get rescheduled fairly soon. Just please not any time in April–everything has been rescheduled to April–I won’t see my family for the whole month.
