It seems that Mother Nature wants to correct herself and we are in the way.  Dark Star Orchestra has battled many thunderstorms, snowstorms, illnesses, broken down trucks and buses but like you, we have never experienced anything like this before.  As firm believers in the “Show Must Go On” we have only canceled a handful of 2,981 shows over 22 years.  In the last two weeks, we’ve postponed 13 shows and there may be more to come.  Fortunately, we have been able to reschedule 12 of these shows, please see below for all pertinent rescheduling information.

Summer Camp Music Festival has announced the reschedule of the 20th year anniversary to take place August 21-23, 2020 at Three Sisters Park, Chillicothe, IL.

Steve Earle & The Dukes will release Ghosts of West Virginia on May 22nd, 2020 via New West Records. The album was produced by Steve Earle and engineered by Ray Kennedy at Jimi Hendrix’s legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York City. The 10-song set is Earle’s 20th studio album and was mixed entirely in mono, lending a sonic cohesion and punch. In recent years, Earle has experienced partial hearing loss in one ear and can no longer discern the separation that stereo is designed to produce.
