5.2.07 - Chapin Tour Canceled
The summer tour with Mary Chapin Carpenter has been canceled due to injury. King Wilkie will attempt to put together some replacement dates, so check back for new June/July shows.Mary Chapin Carpenter released the following statement on her website: On Friday, April 27, 2007, Rounder Records recording artist Mary Chapin Carpenter officially canceled her summer tour. She recently finished the Spring 2007 leg of The Calling tour during which time she experienced pain from a recent back injury. She was subsequently hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism, possibly as a result of her limited movement during the spring tour. Having been released on April 27 from Martha Jefferson Hospital, Carpenter is well on her way to recovery. 3.20.07 - welcome to spring
Ahh Spring. A time of growth. a time of change. a time of dripping slow devlopment and fresh new smells. a time for king wilkie to blossom and shine. the new album has a release date of June 26th. There will be some preview musical samples available soon. Lots of other things are shifting. The king wilkie facility is being evacuated and after a couple of great years, we're leaving our schoolhouse enviorns and traveling by boat somwhere. There are recently-added shows in Raleigh and Charlottesville in April, and much more coast-to-coast performing just around the corner, so keep checking back.Jake will be exhibiting, performing, and playing bass as part of a ballet and performance-art tour during the next two weeks. Hopefully we'll receive a postcard or two from him. Lastly, we're looking forward to launching a new website in the near future, so get your fill of this old black and orange while you still can. Welcome to spring, King Wilkie )
