It’s been a shaky few months for Soulive. After seven years of solid road work, the jazz/funk trio originally planed to take its first hiatus this fall. The group decided to push back its break after being offered an opening spot on Aussie sensation The Cat Empire’s fall Australian tour, marking its first trip down under. But, once again, he group was forced to step off the road. Guitarist Eric Krasno has been diagnosed with severe tonsillitis and the group has cancelled its entire fall tour. “I just want to let everyone know that I'm OK,” Krasno says. “I'm just getting my tonsils removed....I had severe tonsillitis a few times in the last couple years. It’s a routine surgery, I just needed time to take care of it and heal. I appreciate the support from everyone and I can't wait for y'all to hear the new music we're working on it.” The group is confident that Krasno will recover quickly, however, and has confirmed a handful of east coast shows leading up a New Year’s Eve performance with the Greyboy Allstars at Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club.
