A MESSAGE FROM PAT TRAVERS
To all my fans, friends and music business
associates.  I regret that I will NOT be embarking
on the European tour we had scheduled for
Nov 17- Dec 17th, 2016.  Although the promoter
involved had made many promises to my management,
in the end, as of this past Friday we had not received
a signed contract; a tour itinerary; hotel information
or a deposit, all of which is required before we leave
the country. We pat_travers_pr_photohave decided instead, to work with our
current US agency to secure a proper European tour
for 2017.  I regret any inconvenience this may have caused
to my wonderful European fans or the venues that booked
this tour. In the end, we will get there and it will be a much
better situation for all involved. Peace to all-
Cheers- 
Pat Travers

Pat has been invited to do a special guest appearance at Rick Derringer’s 50th Anniversary Shows this weekend in Ohio. Thursday night @ Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown, OH. Then, Friday night @ Midland Theatre in Newark, OH.

2015 UK Tour Cancelled

PermalinkUncategorized, , , , Leave a comment

With much regret, after trying to make financial sense of our UK Tour budget plan that was too tight to allow for any unforeseen calamities to begin with, The Pat Travers Band will need to postpone their trip until a later date in order to put together a more solid, profitable tour plan.
The UK tour was first proposed to us back in April.

Initial quotes for transportation, stage gear rental and tour personnel, at that time were much lower than what is being asked for now. The official Exchange Rate from Sterling to US dollars is a more favorable number than the actual Buy/Sell rate. Which is a more Real World number. The conversion rate was not factored correctly. Between these two factors alone we now have an 18% loss in revenue. This has derailed our tour plan that was barely at break even to begin with.

We are very disappointed that it won’t be possible to make the November UK Tour happen at this time. We are in The Music Business, emphasis on “Business”, and the tour, as it stands, would see us potentially not even break even and we have few guarantees that we wouldn’t actually be in negative numbers at the end of the day.

There are just too many question marks associated with a trip that sees us such a long way from home without any guarantee that we wouldn’t lose our shirts.

We will let you know when we have the rescheduled dates.

Thank you for your support and understanding,
Pat Travers
