A message from the Artist
"Hi people!
I’m currently managing an inflamed vestibular nerve and vestibular migraines. Google that sh*t if you’re bored. My doctor says the travel plus same day shows are just not going to be possible. So I’ve asked my team to work on rescheduling. Thanks for understanding and deep apologies to anyone who this messes up.
Your precariously balanced piano player friend, Ben”
