CA leg 2 Winter Tour Cancelled

We regret to inform you that Acorn Project has decided to cancel our upcoming 3 night run with Euforquestra in California for unforeseen personnel issues. Arcata, Caspar, SF fans/friends, we are truly sorry, we have plans to return in March. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that EVERYONE go out and see Euforquestra, not just in these towns, but anywhere on their west coast tour. These guys are amazing musicians from Colorado and they will make you dance!! This is the first time in 8 years that AP has had to cancel any shows, and we hope never to have to do it again.
