Norah Jones will perform at Ovens Auditorium on May 12, 2010. No word on when tickets when go on sale.
Just saw a listing over at Tremont Music Hall's Web site stating that The English Beat and Fishbone will be performing on Feb. 20. Tickets go on sale on Friday.
I just got a press release stating that Saving Abel has canceled the majority of its upcoming shows as a health precaution for the band's singer, Jared Weeks. This would include the Friday show at Amos'.
Amos' Southend still lists the concert as Saving Abel headlining the Not So Acoustic Christmas event, and so does 106.5's Web site. I would guess that another headliner will be found or the remaining groups will perform as planned. Stay tuned...

The Pick Up The Phone Tour 2009, has been cancelled due to the hospitalization of Justin Furstenfeld, lead singer of the tours headlining band Blue October. The tour had a scheduled stop at The Fillmore on Oct. 23.
Furstenfeld is being treated for suffering from an extreme mental anxiety attack. His doctors have ordered that the tour which was committed to reducing the stigma associated with mental health, depression, and suicide be cancelled to allow for his recovery.
Tickets purchased for the Oct. 23 concert at The Fillmore Charlotte can be refunded at point of purchase starting Friday, Oct. 23. Tickets purchased via phone or online will be refunded automatically.
Mental health diseases are unpredictable, says Furstenfeld. And on the eve of this tour in support of a cause that means the world to me, I am in need of time to heal from a setback in my own personal life, which is severe enough for me to seek hospitalization. I hope that my action to seek the strength and safety of treatment will inspire others that are suffering to do the same.
