We were really going to try to make it out to Cleveland tonight but the massive flu is still hitting our musical act. All canceled shows (i.e. Barking Spider Tavern tonight) will be rescheduled promptly and we will fill you in on when they will be.
One thing I hate doing is canceling shows or anything for that matter. I'm always a stickler (sp?) for sticking to a schedule and honoring committments. I guess there is not much you can do though when struck with the plague and we wouldn't want to get anyone else sick or get sicker and have to cancel even more things.
As I said we will inform you when the canceled shows have been rescheduled.
After speaking with Jason and seeing how poor his health still is at this moment and while I'm 'performable' but not at my best, we have rescheduled the show at Borders on East Liberty to June 20. We are really bummed and really wanted to do our in store show there if it weren't for this stupid flu that is going around. We will be in Cleveland tomorrow though so we will pretty much be sleeping all day tonight and tomorrow. It will be better in the end as we don't want to get our audience or anyone else sick. Plus, we want to be at our best and really give a good show. Hope you all understand and can make it out on June 20.
You can still tune in to The SoupyGato tonight and listen to my music being featured. http://www.soupygato.com
Don't miss my in store performance tonight at Borders on East Liberty in Pittsburgh, PA tonight at 7:30 pm. Copies of my album are also being sold in the store.
But if you can't make it to the show, then listen tonight to The Soupy Gato Radio show were they will be featuring my music! Visit http://www.soupygato.com and subscribe to the show:)

I have some exciting news:) First, as many of you probably know I am collaborating with Chuck Owsten and Bonfire Night for the Arthurian Celtic Rock song, "Three Pale Queens." In addition to that, I was approached by Trance music producer from Fresno, California, Der Mystik, to lend my vocals to a track for an album project he is making. I just recieved the song and it is definatly different from what you guys have been hearing me do, but it is a very cool song and I'm really looking forward to working on it. So you'll be hearing me venture a little into the world of Trance/House/Electro music:) To hear some samples of Der Mystik's work, visit his myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/paulodermunoz
