Hepcat Dilemma is extremely disappointed to announce that the Pic-a-Nic in the Park, scheduled for Saturday, August 17th at Montour Grove in South Park has been cancelled. After tracking the weather forecasts all week, the latest have a series of thunderstorms passing through the area on Saturday afternoon and the decision was made to pull the plug. On Thursday night Chris was in contact with the other bands and the general consensus was that it would be best to cancel the event.
The band had been looking forward to playing and rehearsals had been terrific despite drummer E Hood having to play one handed after a serious elbow injury he suffered earlier in the year. They were planning on debuting several new songs which they feel are amongst their strongest to date.
Hepcat Dilemma apologizes for any inconvenience to anyone who had been planning on attending the event which unfortunately will not be re-scheduled.

Pic-a-Nic in the Park August 17th
Come one, come all to the Pic-a-Nic in the Park! Hepcat Dilemma will be hosting a day of music and fun on Saturday August 17th at South Park’s Montour Shelter. The festivities will start at noon and will run to dusk and everyone is invited!
Hepcat Dilemma will be joined by their great friends Neostem who have released a string of excellent albums and EPs over the past few years including “Liquid Validation” and “Shut Up Me”, and Tempered who just released their outstanding new album, “On the Ground, On the Table.”
Even though drummer E Hood suffered a major elbow injury in May, Hepcat Dilemma plans on playing a full set. “It’s going to be a laid-back atmosphere,” said guitarist Bob Loiselle, “so if E needs to take a break it won’t be any problem. But he’s been an inspiration at practice and is going to give it his best!” Hepcat plans on kicking the music off somewhere between 1:00 and 2:00 and is planning on debuting several new songs.
Some refreshments will be provided but since no one knows how many people may end up coming, folks are encouraged to “bring stuff”.
Montour Shelter is located in South Park, about a half mile down Corrigan Drive on the left, across the street from the ice rink. It is right behind the Silent Brook Farmhouse that is used for graduations and weddings.
