The duo is still on for January 28 at Proud Maryâs in Newtown, however.
*Also, if you are one of our readers who like to get the paper as soon as it comes off the press, this will help you: Due to this weekâs weather conditions and continued forecasts, LORNA LUFT has been unable to travel and her January 20 show at The Ridgefield Playhouse has been postponed.
The Playhouse will be in touch with ticket holders, who will be able to use their current tickets for a new date in the fall, to be announced. Ticket holders should keep their tickets for their same seats to see Ms Luft.

Tickets will be available through LiveNation.com.
*Meanwhile, ROD STEWART and STEVIE NICKS have joined forces for one of the most anticipated musical events of the year, The Heart & Soul Tour. Shows will feature both artists performing full sets from their libraries, backed by an incredible band of musicians and stage production.
The megatour will be stopping at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, March 27, at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $125 and $175 and will be going on sale Saturday, January 22, at 10 am, through TicketMaster. If they do not sell out during the first 24 hours of being available, tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Sunday, January 23.
