BLACKTOP MOJO Cancel Shows After Band Member Tests Positive For COVID-19

Blacktop Mojo are temporarily pulling off the road due to an unspecified band member contracting COVID-19. Their official statement reads: 

"It’s with a heavy heart that we unfortunately have to announce the cancellation of the next 5 shows. We’ve done our part to get ourselves tested, to remain safe during these uncertain times, and to make sure we’re healthy and able to do our jobs safely for you leading up to this small run of shows. Today, one of the band members tested positive for Coronavirus. The next step for us is to follow the guidelines in place for him to recover and to properly quarantine himself in the process. We are heartbroken to share this news but this is the right way to move forward. We don’t want to put any of our fans or anyone at risk. Refunds for tickets can be received at point of purchase and refunds for VIPs will be given through our website. (VIPs can also be redeemed for a later date) We’re sorry y’all."
