PRESS RELEASE!! PRESS RELEASE11
July 4, 2008
Greetings to all our fans,
As you well know, sometimes circumstances occur that cause changes, and The River Road Boys are certainly no exception. This press release is to quell any rumors circulating that The River Road Boys might be breaking up.
We are NOT breaking up!
Many of you already know that our fine bass player, Harlan Kubos, left recently to play with his brother, Dennis Kubos, in the Bobby Flores band. Though we hated to lose Harlan, we wish him continued success in whatever he does in his music career. Shelly Alley has replaced Harlan on bass and is doing an outstanding job at it.
Herb Remington, our legendary steel guitarist for the last several years, has decided to play full-time for the "Always, Patsy Cline" stage play here in Houston at Stages Repertory Theater. Though we will miss him and his great steel playing, we wish him all the success and hope the play has a long and successful run.
We are proud to welcome back to The River Road Boys, Ralph "Dusty" Stewart, who was our first full-time steel guitar player, joining us in the 70's and was with us for 14 years. Dusty's career spans from his early years with the legendary Hank Thompson and the Brazos Valley Boys as well as his tenure with Hoyle Nix and his great band in Big Spring, Texas. He has recently been playing the last several years with the Liberty Opry. Dusty is a perfect fit for our band and will fall right in without a hitch. Dusty is also an inductee into the Sacramento Western Swing Society Hall of Fame and we are certain he will be inducted into many others before long. He resides in Dickinson with his wife, Ginny and we are glad he is back.
We hope to see all of you at any of our upcoming events to welcome Dusty back into the band.
Finally, we wish you all a safe and happy Fourth of July!
