Van Hunt Cancels North American Fall Tour

According to a recent message posted on Van Hunt's MySpace site, he will not be touring this coming Fall, as previously planned. Citing reasons that his record label is unwilling to give him the support he needs, he does go on to state that his next full-length should arrive in April of next year.

---------------------

evenin'...i'm writing to let every one know that there will be no more van hunt shows this year. the tour, scheduled for september, october and november, has been cancelled. we simply cannot afford to be on the road. we will, however, continue to market 'On The Jungle Floor' on-line. but, for now, the record label, that owns the license to sell my records, is ill-equipped and/or unwilling to do so. at least, not through the influential and traditional channels-like radio, print, etc (which is what helps to pay the bills and expand the audience...crucial for an outfit as large as ours-trying to stay on the road). word of mouth from the enthusiasm meeting our shows has been wonderful; yet, it moves too slowly to save a budget already crippled by expensive recording costs...next time, cheaper record=longer tour and, hopefully, more success. i am disappointed for my band and for those of you who were looking forward to hearing us play. i'm off to focus on composing the third album. i really do appreciate the encouraging, insightful and supportive words. the next full length release, (and it's lead-off RADIO single or the new millenium equivalent) will be here sometime around april (not that long...if i'm feigning positivity). i've got a few surprises for you before then.
