Due to a combination of contributing factors including travel-induced health concerns and performance-inhibiting physical challenges,

PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM BUFFY:
“I have made the difficult decision to pull out of all scheduled performances in the foreseeable future. Arthritic hands and a recent shoulder injury have made it no longer possible to perform to my standards.Sincere regrets to all my fans and family, my band and the support teams that make it all possible.”
