May be old news, but I’ll mention because it’s very rare. (She tours Europe and Canada far more often.) [List of dates here](http://www.stubhub.com/loreena-mckennitt-tickets/performer/137727/?creative=96758372238&keyword=155761708_c&gcid=C12289X486): I hope I can catch her in Atlanta or one of the Tennessee dates, though I’m guessing the “cheap” seats (cheap here meaning "relative to the more expensive seats’ and not a synonym of inexpensive) sell out and the fees are plopped on the tickets will be the price of a Honda. ---

She’s not coming anywhere close to here, or I’d be scrambling for a ticket. ---

I purchased a ticket for the Cedar Rapids show, by far the closest she’s been. I’m surprised that she is playing the Copernicus heater in Chicago, s smaller venue (I think) than the [Chicago Theater](http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1998-05-11/features/9805110109_1_hugh-marsh-oud-band) ---

Nope, never to Florida, can’t have that… ☹ Guess I’ll make the Atlanta drive, then… ---

Knoxville is the one that surprised me. It know it’s not Dogpatch- it’s a big college town and all- but it seems a bit B-list for somebody with her fanbase when Nashville is more convenient. Asheville would be my ideal place to see her, but I’m guessing tickets are stratosphere. ---

Wow. The closest she’s coming to me is Cedar Rapids and I’m in Seattle so that’s not going to work! I hope everyone who goes has a great time and reports back! 🙂 ---

Interesting she has 3 shows in Wisconsin (Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Madison) A quick glance has TN as teh only other 3 show state (None in CA, NY or TX) Brian ---

No western dates at all. ☹
