Nice! Excellent information, Tom and please know that I appreciate your efforts/time very much. Hopefully the tentative Concord date will come through (that’s such a great smaller room and it seems to draw a terrific New England crowd) and I can’t help but think that last tentative is the Merrill in Portland-East. Can you throw a brother a bone–is it true in terms of the Merrill?
Sincerely,
David
Rochester will probably be the 3/14 show -but some details are still being worked out, and I anticipate they will be. I am going to edit my original email to add Rochester as I know there are many fans that are still holding tickets.
Tom,
Thank you for the dates. Is Rochester truly the last stop before Australia? Should I expect more shows west of Rochester? Or, should I break the news to my wife that I will be hittin’ the road mid-March?Well done Australia and New Zealand…
How about the best Christmas present you could give us….
Europe/U.K.(Scotland) 2009 ???
The Rochester show on 3/14 will be the last show before Australia. I also added in the Lake Charles show above-though not confirmed it is probable.
We received many more offers for shows than we could fit in before leaving for Down Under so I would expect that there will be more US dates in late May/June -probably including an appearance at Bonaroo.
We hoping to go to Europe in July-but that is still very tenative.DavidInMaine, I thought that Lucinda’s sound and configuration is not to your liking. Do I detect a change of heart?
Thank you very much for the information, it is much appreciated…
Will keep all fingers and toes crossed that July will work out..

David in Maine is a closet cheerleader. I guess he’s outed now. Ha ha – just kidding.
I do know he’s a huge music fan, and even a big Lucinda fan. It was refreshing reading a positive note from him. He just has an opinion.

No change of heart here–Still not in love with LWs latest sound, lyrics, tour, and album. If she comes to my ‘hood, I might stop by for a song or two and to see Doug P. Wouldn’t travel, however plus I am still scratching my head in terms of the whole double-dipping with Buick 6. Why not put together a bill that might help with ticket sales and exposure of an up-and-coming band? I remember seeing M. Ward open for Norah Jones a few years back. He was out of control–just as the Jayhawks were some years ago for LWs. Nothing against Buick 6 but I am not going to put much currency into a skilled “cover band.” No closet cheerleading here but I appreciate the vote of confidence although I love most of her music (since the late ’80s of course!).
The Wellmont is a nice place to see a show. Not really a “new” theater – but nicely updated from what it was when it closed down as a beat up old movie theater.
I have seen a few shows there already since it re-opened – I only live 15 minutes from the theater – but what one should know is:
The show is General Admission, which means there are no seats at all on the floor if you opt for a General Admission Floor ticket. On the other hand, if you opt for a General Admission Balcony seat, you will get a seat, since the balcony has permanent seats – and the view is great from up there. If you can get a lower balcony seat it is like being about 10 or so rows from the stage with a clear view to the stage. I always opt for GA balcony when going to the Wellmont. There are, though, 1000 seats up in the balcony area so to get a seat in the lower balcony might mean a longer wait in the line to get into the show. (They claim they can fit 1500 on the floor – which could make it tight for standing close to the stage – and not my idea of fun :)).
Also the theater will not allow you to go on the floor if you do purchase a GA Balcony seat, and likewise, you cannot go in the balcony if you have a general admission floor seat.
When they re-opened the Wellmont I said to my wife, that would be a great place to see Lucinda… and lo and behold… Lucinda plays the Wellmont. !!!!
