An Important Announcement from Steve Earle, The Dukes & Their Crew

FROM STEVE EARLE AND THE DUKES AND CREW,

TO OUR FANS 

In light of all the new information and no small amount of misinformation surrounding the recent spike in Covid infections and the emergence of the Delta variant we all sat down last evening before the show and talked about the road ahead of us. As we look forward to another 25 shows, over half in extremely “hot areas” of the country, we felt it was necessary to, at least, discuss our options should this very real healthcare crisis worsen.

​Well, we did that, and we decided to finish the tour if at all possible. We are all vaccinated and we trust the science and therefore it is our belief that we are in minimal danger of serious illness. That being said, we are taking the news that Delta is much more contagious, and may be transmitted to others by vaccinated individuals very seriously. We are masking, testing on a regular basis, and maintaining our bubble. We do this mainly to prevent us from carrying the virus with us around the country. To protect YOU and help you not to make each other ill when you attend our shows. Please, respect our efforts and get vaccinated or wear a mask when you come to see and hear us perform. This is not a requirement, as such regulations are illegal in many of the places we are playing on this tour. It is rather a plea for your cooperation and respect.

SEE YOU DOWN THE ROAD

STEVE EARLE AND THE DUKES AND THE DUKES CREW
