When Andy McKee was not able to make his scheduled duo show with Don Ross at the Soo Theatre last July, he said he would reschedule the show for late November or early December. And he said “To those of you who hold a ticket for the
So what’s happening?
The Soo Theatre Project has been working to try to find a show date that works but we have not been successful as yet. We were hoping to get Don and Andy back playing together here this summer, because without heat, our theatre is closed during the colder months (October to May). But as you may know from the duo’s website, after touring together for most of 2008, Don and Andy are focusing on solo performances in 2009. Further, Andy is on tour in Europe through July this year.
But there’s good news!
Andy’s last world tour date is July 25 in the UK (andymckee.com). He has signed a deal with a new record company, Razor & Tie (razorandtie.com), and he will be coming off the road after two and a half years to take some time to do a new album. In June he’ll be in New York City to record an EP with the new company that will be released via iTunes only. But, to honor his pledge, he’s going to give the Soo Theatre signed copies of this new EP on CD for exclusive distribution to the Soo Theatre concert ticketholders. So if you have your ticket to the July 3 concert at the Soo Theatre, you’ll be part of a very select group to ever have this EP. This CD will be personally signed by Andy McKee to commemorate the missed Soo date. Please note: this EP is coming out to the rest of the world as a digital-only piece at the time of release - so on a good faith basis please keep this as your personal physical copy (no reselling please) and as a very special thank you directly from Andy.
We should be announcing the availability of this limited-edition CD sometime in July. Stay tuned to the Soo Theatre website at sootheatre.org for further information on how to get the CD.
