BRIAN SETZER FORCED TO CANCEL PERFORMANCE IN LYNCHBURG, VA DUE TO INJURY

 

Under doctor’s orders, iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and three-time Grammy-Award winner Brian Setzer has been forced to cancel his 16th annual “Christmas Rocks! Tour” by The Brian Setzer Orchestra due to a severe case of tinnitus. This includes his November 23, 2019 performance at the Academy Center of the Arts’ Historic Academy Theatre in Lynchburg, VA.

 

The over 20-city annual and critically acclaimed holiday extravaganza by SETZER and 19-piece ORCHESTRA was his best-selling Christmas tour to date and set to start this week, running from November 15 in Minneapolis through December 21 in Los Angeles.

 

Setzer says he deeply regrets this inconvenience to his fans and thanks them in advance for their love and support.

 

“It’s heartbreaking to disappoint my fans who have shared my Christmas seasons with me for over fifteen years,” says SETZER. “I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused all of the amazing people who make my tour happen and to my unbelievably loyal and devoted fans.  I hate to let you down and I hope you’ll understand.”

 

Box Office staff at the Academy Center of the Arts will refund tickets at the point of purchase. Patrons purchasing with credit cards will be refunded to the card used. Patrons purchasing with cash or check will be contacted by Box Office staff within five (5) business days to arrange a refund.

 

“We are, of course, disappointed that the performance has to be canceled, but we wish Brian Setzer a speedy recovery,” said Corey Wilson, Programming Manager. “Thank you to everyone who has purchased tickets for this event and for supporting the Academy Center of the Arts through our programming. We apologize for this inconvenience and will work to refund patrons in a timely manner.”

ACADEMY ANNOUNCES VENUE REOPENING GUIDELINES

The Academy Center of the Arts has always put our patrons, our supporters, and our community members first. That’s why, when COVID-19 began to spread throughout the region, we closed our doors ahead of official governing regulations, and why we continue to put tremendous thought into when and how we will reopen those doors to the public in the future.

 

Following Governor Northam’s Executive Order No. 65, we are officially releasing our plans to reopen our educational and gallery venues, as well as our guidelines for reopening our performance venues in the future.
