Greetings, Beloved Edhead Community

We regret to inform you that we are postponing our next two week's worth of shows (Charlottesville, Minneapolis, Madison & Grand Rapids). Many of you have noticed our current pattern of show cancellations - a pattern that is highly unusual for EFO. In our twelve years, we've managed to maintain a pretty consistent "show must go on" objective by surmounting obstacles like illness, vehicular problems, and inclement weather, without ever canceling. However, a recent family emergency has stopped us in our tracks. All band members are healthy, but there are circumstances in Julie's family right now that require her immediate and constant attention. Many of you know how importantly our band regards family matters, and it is for this very reason that we're canceling these next four shows. We appreciate your understanding, and we are deeply sorry for any inconveniences this may have created for you. If you're disappointed, please know the feeling is very mutual.

We've been blessed with extremely supportive agents and venue owners in this dilemma, and they are all investigating options for rescheduling the cancelled shows. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

Even with these four shows cancelled, the gentlemen of EFO (Robbie, Eddie & Mike) will still be appearing at the rescheduled Borders' appearances this Friday, March 21 (Washington, DC at 12:30pm & Glen Allen, VA at 7pm- details at the web site) which were originally scheduled for late March. Please come on out, hear a few songs, talk about the NCAA tourney, debate the War & Reality TV, and have a coffee - we'd love to see you.

Unfortunately, we can't forecast beyond these two weeks, but we will keep you informed as the situation develops. Please continue to check with our web site and Tour Dates page as your source for the most current info (Reminder: it's always a good rule of thumb to check up to the last minute anyway. We live in a world where truly anything can happen). http://www.eddiefromohio.com

We appreciate your thoughts and prayers for Julie's family. Out of consideration for the privacy of Julie & Greg, we kindly ask that you not investigate further details (via email or otherwise, regardless of your relationship with the band). We appreciate the concern many have shown so far, and thank you for your continued thoughtfulness.

We hope all of you and your families are healthy and safe,
