There have been comments about going thru CW "withdrawal", going some time between shows (and that ignores 2021), adn what was your favorite tour.  So, I went back thru my notes.  If you talk number of shows, my favorite was Songs from the Heart.  Part of that was maybe due to time availability, but probably more due to liking the group as configured.  Then again, in 2010 went to 2 shows at Radio City and 2 at Red Rocks.  In 2011, two at RCMH but only 1 at Red Rocks.

Interesting that they have never said WHY they aren't touring.  I also find it a little strange that they bring in Hannah for a month worth of shows, and then don't do anything else.  I wonder what the contracts, especially Hannah's, says?  Are they hired for a tour?  A time period?

We all know COVID affected a lot of people, including musical groups.  Groups start touring again and it appears the audiences were coming back.  Now you shut down again for a year?  There's something going on that we don't know about.
 

I did attend Chloe's show in Georgia on Sunday, the 11th.  It was actually the Atlanta Pops Orchestra with Special Guest Chloe Agnew.  Show was at a place called the Victory Christian Center PAC in East Ellijay, GA.  About 1-1/2 hour drive from the Atlanta Aiport. 

Very nice venue.  Large, open, flexible space.  They used padded chair for seating, supposedly 800.  Mostly full.

I think Chloe did a total of 7 songs.  Interesting to hear her song The Gathering when backed by a full orchestra.  The orchestra probably did 10 or 11 songs. 

There was a M&G prior to the show.  Reminded me of the older ones PBS put on.  Hors'd'Oeuvres and punch.  Started at 6:30 -- Chloe showed up about 7:15.  Got a hug and photo.

I have to agree totally with Evening Star's review.  I saw the show on Tuesday night in New Philadelphia, Ohio after seeing Chloe and the Atlanta Pops on Sunday night. 

New Philly was not generally someplace I would have expected CW to be at, but great venue.  Only 1,100 seats, but most were full.  OK, the first two rows were various University and Foundation officials,  Guess where some of the empty seats were?

I had planned on printing out the setlist, rather than making notes.  Of course, I forgot to do it.  It did seem like it was the same list, which is not surprising.

Anyway, great show.  I loved Hannah's voice. Yes, there were a few blending issues, but nothing that won't get fixed with some more shows and rehearsals.  Too bad we won't see a show for another year (at least).   

The show was definitely worth all the hassle that flying Frontier causes!

I too have some concerns about the future of CW.  That's one reason I'm traveling about 800 miles to see the Christmas Show.  Will it be the last show?  No idea.  I hope not, but just in case....

The fact that we have officially heard nothing from CW gives me concern, especially since there were some Spring concert dates leaking out.  Are they having trouble booking venues?  Sure, booking is an issue, but look what happened this year.  While I didn't look at every date, I think they did a pretty good job of keeping the various Cities in some kind of logical order.

I'm not sure I buy the story about it taking a year to "get the band back together again" unless the various members have gone on to other things.  They announced Hannah as the new member.  What is the contract status of the other girls? 

I don't want it to end, but if it does, I have a lot of good memories (and photos!)

An opportunity arose to get out of town the weekend of December 10th.  So, bought a ticket to see Chloe in North Georgia on the 11th.  According to Google, it's only 1-1/2 hours from the Atlanta airport.  Since Atlanta has a lot of flights to a lot of places, CW is in New Philadelphia, Ohio on the 13th.  That's doable either by driving or flying. Only real issue is the selection of seats isn't great. 

I went to my first CW concert in 2007.  Besides falling in love with the music, part of the reason I have been to a lot of shows (over 100 to date) was the opportunity to meet most of the girls multiple times.  Especially when they did the M&G after the shows. 

At some point in time, I was somewhat "over" CW.  I wasn't going to travel as much.  Then, I went to a show (Lakeland, FL) where they were doing some songs (TAR) where they were out in the audience.  I had a front row ticket.  Lisa Lambe came by and sat next to me for a minute or two as part of the intro!!!  My thoughts of only going to one or two shows evaporated.

As has been mentioned, yes, I think CW has made some errors in judgement.  Granted, the pandemic caused a lot of companies to make decisions, that in hindsight, were maybe wrong.  There is a federal report out now showing how badly the shutdowns affected students.  I generally refuse to do a Zoom meeting.  And yes, I generally have conditions that supposedly make me more vulnerable to COVID.  I went to one of Chloe's individual shows last year.  She had a "meet & greet".  But, she had to stay on the stage.  Our photo was both of us wearing masks and being 6' apart.  Sure the M&G was only $20, but I probably wouldn't do it again.

Is CW having problems with finding band members?  Are any of the other girl's contracts up?  Is someone very concerned with COVID?  I went to a Broadway show here in Tampa earlier this year (Frozen).  It was in your typical performing arts center.  According to the venue, the cast required everyone to wear masks.  Keep in mind Florida passed a law saying masks could not generally be required.  So if I'm in the balcony, a long way away from the stage, how is wearing a mask going to protect the cast? 

There are a lot of possible reasons for the tour being postponed.  My guess is if they do not get on top of this soon, they are in serious trouble.  Can they continue to fill large venues?  Red Rocks, Radio City, etc.  A lot of other "groups" are resuming touring.  Of course, the price has gone up.  I wanted to go see the show SIX.  Main floor tickets were $200 each plus about a 40% service charge.  I haven't made up my mind yet.  I'm not even sure I would spend that much on CW today.
