WOW! Those are challenging times, and from show reports and photos, Lu and the band were still able to shine. Thanks for hanging in there and not giving up the ship.
Doing flip flops here for that Cincinnati show! I just posted in the Heartless Bastards thread my thoughts on Lu coming to Cincy! I may be making myself a liar, but I do believe, in my heart of hearts, Lu will have a fantastic turnout here in my hometown. Looking forward to May/June tour announcement!
Safe travels to the land Down Under!

“A couple of ‘special’ shows”? Hmmm. And airfare deals between Atlanta & Chicago can usually be easily found. Hmmmm. I better start buttering up the lovely wife!

Thanks for the post Tom O.
Fires are always scary, we will be looking for the full report. I’ve been waiting to hear about the continuation of the US tour, and finally we do. And Cincinnati is on the list of cities for the first time, in my memory at least. Wooo hooo. No wait, she was here for a river festival several years ago, but it was when I was on vacation and missed it.
Hopefully the show will be at the one year old PNC pavilion. The lower seating area closest to the stage is just folding chairs linked together. I suspect it could be configured however the performer likes. I suspect it would be open down front for an admiring crowd to flock.
Lafayette – Did you have any influence on this cities selection when you went down to Georgia? Did you meet Tom and Lu as well as some of the regulars that post in here I saw you comment on? I’ll be watching closely for tickets.
tntracy – Cincy is a Delta hub, I bet you could get a cheap flight from Hotlanta here from that direction at least. Or just autothrottle up 75.

Stevarino, never had the opportunity to meet Lu and Tom in Atlanta. I’ve been cheerleading from the sidelines, though. I, too, missed Lu’s appearance at “Tall Stacks.” It was a timing thing for me as well.
I knew the news would carry well with you! As far as autopilot on I 75, it is probably one of the easiest drives I have made even if at 8 hours. No turnpikes, no major cities to run into traffic (other than Atlanta itself) and I suspect there won’t be that snow issue to contend with in June.
The timing for this show for me is just about right. I may try to head to Chicago for those “special” shows if they come to fruition. Will have to see if it works into budget and schedule.

Yeah, that’s a possibility as well, Steve. Kind of a “reverse” of the trip Lafayette just made. And, I have driven as far as Lexington, KY for a Lu show in the past. Cincinnati is not much farther. But, the appeal of the Chicago possibility is that it would be two shows for the price of one trip. Two “special” shows, no less.
Now if the Cincinnati show were followed up by the Chicago shows, I could drive to Cincy first, then go to Chicago from there. Hmmm…
Oh well, I’m just dreaming for now. Time will tell.
Tom
New dates are on the “shows” page, Anaheim 5/28, Tucson 5/29, and Phoenix 5/30. That’s the Memorial Day weekend (no it isn’t) and Phoenix is an hour away by air. Could be a wild weekend.
edited for wrong holiday weekend attribution 😕
Thanks, Tonyg, for the fast notice.
However, Memorial Day is actually May 25, before the tour starts.Madison Theater in Covington, KY works for me ! I saw Amos Lee there a few months ago. Perfect! General Admission (we know how Lu loves that),open floor, tables around back perimeter, bar right there as well. It’s small, though, so I’m throwing a dollar down Lu will need 2 nights there.
THANK YOU for booking Cincinnati ! 😀
Lafayette,
Very interesting that Lucinda is appearing at the Madison Theater in Covington. A tiny little place I know well. For non Cincinnatian’s Covington is right across the river from Ohio in Kentucky, but is a great place for music and restaurants and bars. Its a beautiful old neighborhood built in the 40’s or earlier. And yes the Maddison is always general admission. The place isn’t big enough to have a bad seat. I’ve watched bands from the bar there and thought the seats were great. I hope Tom knows what he is booking. Like Lafayette said there will need to be two nights to accomodate the interested fans.

Great description of surrounding area, Stevarino. I love Main Strasse in Covington even though I don’t get there as often as I would like.
I’m going viral with this particular booking. I’ve posted comments on WNKU 89.7 myspace page as well as facebook page shouting Lu is coming back to Cincy! Left a comment on Madison Theater’s myspace page as well.
