Flosstradamus, which used to be a duo but has been the solo project of Curt Cameruci since 2016, is playing some shows in late 2019 and early 2020 but then taking a break from the road for “most if not all of 2020.” Curt promises he’ll still be “working on and releasing Flosstradamus music, mixtapes, and apparel” next year, just no live shows. The newly-added dates happen in Atlanta, San Francisco, San Bernardino, NYC (1/3 at Webster Hall), and Chicago. All dates and Curt’s full statement here.
