Tour Update
We are very sorry to announce that Sam Parton will not be joining the band on our upcoming UK tour. As many of you know she was injured in a car accident on September 3. Unfortunately, she is not able to meet the demands of touring at this time, and needs to continue to focus on her recovery. We are sorry that Sam cannot tour with us but we intend to put on the best show possible given the circumstances. We are excited to return to the UK, and look forward to seeing you all.
