North Carolina, it breaks my heart to do so but I’m having to postpone all my shows for next week. I was offered a job I couldn’t pass on. Good problem to have, but a tough one. I didn’t want to cancel on you, but I have to. Sadly. Sorry to Asheville, Charlotte, Durham, and Wilmington. I will reschedule, I promise. Thanks for your understanding. Love, DingDonger.
