Robyn says 'mi dispiachi' to those who came to the show on August 13th at Ravenna. The show was double-booked and so Robyn postponed the gig until the next Strade Blu festival.

Robyn will be doing a short US tour in November, performing I Often Dream Of Trains with Terry Edwards on keyboards, horns, & bass and Captain Tim Keegan on guitar. They will be appearing in NYC at Symphony Space on November 22, which is being filmed by John Edginton for the Sundance Channel and DVD release on YepRoc. More dates will be announced in a couple months.
