Chris Webster sidelined

Jackie Greene's got a CD release show coming to Empire on Saturday - and you can peep my Q&A interview with him - but you may notice that the concert has a different opening act. Chris Webster was originally on board to open this show, but she's been forced to cancel her upcoming gigs because of a throat ailment called unilateral vocal fold paresis. In layman's terms, Webster is unable to sing for the next couple of months, and perhaps more. This is a pretty tough blow for one of the Sacramento area's most gorgeous voices, and for now she's being treated at the University of California, San Francisco's medical center.

"I'm optimistic," says Webster in a press release. "I have immense trust and faith that all will be okay."

Here's wishing Chris a speedy recovery ...
