us that Rufio has pulled out of the fall tour they had scheduled with Less Than Jake due to a personal tragedy. The dates were scheduled to begin on November 14th in San Francisco and were to run through December 4th. Also affected are headlining dates in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio on December 6th, 7th and 8th. No word on a replacement opener for the tour. Click below for a message from the band.

    "Dear Friends, Fans, and Family,

    There are times in life when words fail us - when they seem weightless and trite. This is one of those times.

    Due to a family tragedy, we need to cancel our tour dates with Less Than Jake. Jon has suffered a loss we cannot fathom and he needs to be at home to spend this time with his family. As his bandmates and brothers, we need to be here for him during this time.

    Thank you so much for your understanding and support.

    If you’d like to send Jon a message, you can do so on our message board.

    As soon as we put together a plan for next year, we’ll let you guys know. We can’t thank you enough for your support through this past year and especially during this time when we need it the most.

    Love,
    rufio"
