News Lucero Trapped by Killer Yeti, Forced to Cancel Portland Show

Bad news, folks. Looks like Lucero is trapped by bad weather—and a blood-thirsty snowbeast—and will be forced to cancel tonight's "Ramblin' Roadshow and Memphis Revue" show at the Hawthorne Theatre.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Lucero is currently trapped in the Rockies; an avalanche has blocked off I-80 and, while the band worked to take an alternate route to Portland, the weather has caused some damage to their bus/trailer and forced them to stop driving.The band is canceling this show with a heavy heart and held out hope that they would make it until the last possible moment. Thanks very much for your understanding and we'll be in touch as soon as we have a makeup date.
This news is sad, but not surprising since the band is a bunch of Southerners and they clearly have no experience fending off an Abominable Snowman—unlike us Pacific Northwesterners. Gentlemen, aim for the eyes. Or the groin.
