I'm very happy that for the 20th anniversary of "In Spite of Ourselves" the album we be released on limited edition pink vinyl as part of this #TenBandsOneCause to raise money for Gilda's Club NYC. This is still one of the most fun records I ever made - I got to sing classic country songs with some of my very favorite singers of all time. This was the first album I recorded after my surgery for neck cancer. At one point before my treatment, it looked like there was a real possibility I'd never be able to sing or perform again. But thanks to my doctors, family and friends I was able to keep going. And by giving money to Gilda's Club you can help a whole bunch of other people get the support they need too. Ten Bands re-issue their albums on limited edition pink vinyl, all for one cause. This is the 6th year for the initiative that has raised money for Gilda's Club NYC, an organization that provides community support for both those diagnosed with cancer and their caretakers. It is named after comedian Gilda Radner, who passed away from cancer at the age of 43 in 1989. They will be released between September 27th. #TENBANDSONECAUSE Please follow the Ten Bands One Cause 2019 Spotify Playlist: https://spoti.fi/2M9msH2 And be sure to pre-order your pink vinyl here: https://ffm.to/inspitepinkvinyl

Well, we didn't want to change our flights since the Rockland-Bergen Music Festival was cancelled, so we decided to have a pop-up show at Webster Hall in NYC this Sunday, June 23rd! Tickets are on sale now, and going fast!: https://www1.ticketmaster.com/event/000056D5D7FA8782?brand=websterhall

From the good folks of the Rockland-Bergen Music Festival: Dear RBMF Patrons, Very sadly, due to the extreme amount of rain we have had the last six days and the current condition of the field at the park, we have made the decision to cancel the outdoor shows of this years RBMF due to safety concerns for all. Myself, the production company and town feel we cannot safely erect major staging and all production items that are needed on the field and protect the safety of all patrons, artists and workers. The field has been extremely compromised during this past week by the non stop rain we have experienced; with yet another downpour only a few hours ago, in this area and another one expected today before it clears. The load in and production set up usually takes one and a half to two days but the issue is you can't even walk in many area let alone drive vehicles on there. And even if you could, the safety of a structure is in question and lead to this decision. It looks like it will take weeks for that area to be dry, safe and usable. All other indoor shows will go on as scheduled. I am working with Eventbrite at the moment and every ticket buyer/patron will receive a full refund of tickets purchased. As many of you know, I have been working on this weekend for over 9 months and this decision is made with a heavy heart but I cannot and will not in clear conscience put anyone at a safety risk. I have too much love for all the artists involved and all our patrons old and new to the RBMF. We will be back next year in one form or another be it outdoor or indoor, as I still believe the Rockland-Bergen area deserves a music event with talents like the great John Prine, Steve Earle and the other 25 artists that were due to perform this weekend. I’m also, I think sad is the right word, that so many of you won’t get a chance to meet the 16 charities we had planned to have on site each day for this 6th RBMF So many people have forged new relationships and friendships here in past years and to hear those stories made my “inner Harry Chapin and Pete Seeger” explode with joy. Yes, we will be back, just not this calendar year as the planning of this takes a lot of time. I thank all our sponsors and volunteers who make each year possible. I apologize to any of you who have traveled and for any inconvenience this may have caused you. I wish I could control the weather. Don’t we all at times... The crazy / painful thing is that this weekend looks to be very nice but one nice weekend cannot dry up what we recently experienced. I don’t take this decision lightly as the RBMF is a labor of love each year but as a friend of mine said to me, “some labors are harder than others”. I close this note by saying: “I wish you love - I wish you happiness, I guess I wish - you all the best” Sincerely, Joe D’Urso

It’s been a week, and I’m still overwhelmed by all the kind words. And thanks Mercy, my knuckles are flattered...love you guys
