Tucson Jazz Festival postpones two headliners
Omicron
Two shows for the 2022 Tucson Jazz Festival have been postponed, organizers announced Tuesday, Jan. 4.
Headliner Jon Batiste is postponing his concert, originally scheduled for Jan. 21 at Centennial Hall, due to “unforeseen circumstances.” Herb Alpert has also had to postpone his concert. Organizers say they’re working with both artists to reschedule their concerts at a later date. “We realize that due to the Omicron virus this is a fluid situation and that further changes in the festival schedule may be necessary”, Khris Dodge, the festival’s executive director, was quoted as saying in a news release. “We will keep the public informed of any further changes.”

Poi Dog Pondering cancelled 5 nightly shows the week of New Year. A Stones tribute band this week and Samantha Fish next week were my plans to start this year. All missed for COVID. Though the last two are because of my positive test results. My 4 kids, wife and many relatives all positive currently. Fortunately after 3 jabs no real sickness amongst our dozen plus extended family members currently infected.

Instead of using antiperspirant, the antivaxxers will start using antivirus spray to avoid detection.

Big controversy going on in regards to the Wilco expensive Mexico shows. They are still happening but a lot of people want to get out of it. The promoter is pulling a caveat emptor trip.

The (quite awesome) band My Morning Jacket is still promoting a long weekend of shows on the Riviera Maya, (March, I think?) after having just cancelled NY Eve shows in DEnver.
