Re: [Harp-L] Jason Ricci's band

I have no direct knowledge of Jason's present situation.

However, he recently changed booking agencies. It's not unheard of for the old agency to play tricks or say untrue things (once when Toots changed agencies, anyone calling the old agency would be flatly told that '"all engagements are cancelled"). 

This may or may not be such a case. I wouldn't give the story any credence until someone can talk directly to Jason or Shawn or Buckweed.

Hello all,
   I was just surfing the web, and came across a news story that Jason Ricci canceled a gig in at a club Bethlehem PA.  The club owner was quoted as saying that Jason's booking agent had called him to cancel the show, and said about Jason, "His whole band up and quit on him" The story went on to say the rest of his June gigs, and all of his July gigs were canceled. Has anybody else heard anything about this?? The story was posted 8 hrs ago.
                                                                                                                  Mike
