As announced Monday on her Facebook page, country singer and Sirius XM Outlaw Country’s “Apron Strings” host Elizabeth Cook has canceled a string of upcoming performances and will not appear as scheduled on Mountain Stage Sunday, October 19. We will reschedule her appearance as soon as possible.
We’d like to wish Elizabeth the best while she gets some much needed rest and we look forward to the chance to work with her again in the future.
Tickets to the October 19 show are still available. Performers include Todd Snider, legendary songwriter Chip Taylor, The Secret Sisters and renowned producer and recording artist Ethan Johns.
