Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the Columbus show on April 20th has been cancelled. However, it might be rescheduled at the end of this tour, so don't fret yet! (Thanks to Julia Rios for the information straight from Liz's own mouth!)
The April 26th El Cajon, CA show was erroneously reported -- it is actually Greenville, NC. The April 28th State College, PA (Crowbar) show has been moved to May 5th, while the April 28th venue has changed to New York City, NY (Loeb Student Union). The May 5th Louisville, KY (Headliners Music Hall) show will probably be rescheduled on one of the TBA dates.
Liz is touring with a full band, and she has performed two new compositions: "Firewalker" and "Don't Apologize".
[Thanks to Russ Waterhouse at Matador Records, Jenny Sayler, Robbie McCown, Redprez98, Paul Erickson, and Meredith Robbins for the information. Also, I'd like to thank T.K. and John Deeth for correcting the location of the April 14th show.]
