ALEX SKOLNICK TRIO - West Coast Tour Cancelled
September 9, 2007, 16 years ago
Jazz/metal act, ALEX SKOLNICK TRIO, led by former TESTAMENT and SAVATAGE guitarist Alex Skolnick, have issued the following update regarding their previously announced tour with guitar duo RODRIGO Y GABRIELA:
"Hey everyone, we are sorry to announce that our West Coast shows with Rodrigo Y Gabriela have just been cancelled for the following reason (from Rodrigo Y Gabriela's website): 'Gabriela is suffering from exhaustion after a hectic summer/fall tour schedule and is left with no choice but to cancel the remaining shows in September. Advice from doctors is to take a few weeks off to relax so she can build up her strength. Gabriela's high energy performances means that she has to be in top physical health to perform to the levels people expect and that she enjoys. Gabriela will be taking a month off to get back in shape for the October tour.'First of all, we wish Gab a speedy recovery and hope she feels better. She's a beautiful soul and brilliant musician and we want her healthy! We're grateful to her and Rodrigo for the opportunity to play with them and look forward to resuming our tour with them in October on the East Coast. The West Coast dates will be made up in the future and we plan to be there, schedule permitting. We especially want to thank all our local friends/street teamers who offered to help us with promotion etc, we couldn't do what we do without you guys?? Also, special thanks to Yamaha Acoustic Guitars and Cunningham Construction Custom Drums for hooking us up with gear for this trip. We look forward to working with these guys a lot more in the near future.
With the music biz, there are occasional bumps in the road, and this is one of those. But in the grand scheme of things, life is good and we're very excited about the near future. See you all really soon."
