• Update: HEAVY AND LIGHT.

  Dec. 9, 2010 at 6:27pm

  Hey Guys.

  
  

  Many of you have been asking about HEAVY AND LIGHT, our annual evening of songs, conversation and hope, which has happened the last two years in January at House of Blues in Orlando. We're sad to say that the event is on hold as of now. It won't happen in January or February. We're looking at dates (and potential artists) for March right now. 

  
  

  There's no crisis or anything like that. It's just that the event means the world to us - the last two years have been amazing, two of my all-time favorite nights, personally - and we don't want to do HEAVY AND LIGHT unless it can be on par with those nights. 

  
  

  We want to keep it fresh, we want to keep surprising people with an incredible lineup that mixes well-known favorites with new voices that we believe in. We love that HEAVY AND LIGHT has been able to happen in early January, as we think there's something special about that time of year, the possibility that things can be new, that a new year can look different from the ones before. That said, it's really tough to make an event happen in early January, as it's a time when many of our artist friends are home with their families (which is a rare and special thing for most of them). 

  
  

  That's the update as of now. Sorry it took so long and sorry it's not better news. We promise HL will happen again soon and we promise it will be amazing when it does. We've heard the coolest stories of people flying across the country or spending hours in the car to make the trip to Orlando. We've heard people say it was their all-time favorite show and we also know that people have connected with local counseling and treatment resources because of the event. We love those stories and we don't take them lightly. 

  
  

  Thank YOU so much for being excited about this event, for believing in it and wanting to see it continue. HEAVY AND LIGHT, and TWLOHA for that matter, exists because of you, because of your passion and support. 

  
  

  Thank you for walking this road with us. 

  More soon. Much love from Florida.
