Best news I have heard in a long time

 

[paindonthurt]

Got any tour dates out yet?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Not yet.

 

[Ballyhoo77]

Excellent!

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

How long have they been gone and why were they off? Have a few of their songs saved on Spotify. Working on towboats during summer and winter breaks while at STATE, I can relate to Long Hot Summer Day.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

They’d not been together for about two and a half years. It’s been long thought that Evan Felker’s alcohol issues were thought to be the main reason.

 

[paindonthurt]

Miranda Lambert is the main reason.

 

[Bucksnort_Dawg]

This. This is the right answer

Miranda Lambert is the main reason.

 

[boatsandhoes]

Drugs are bad….ummmmmkkkkk

 

[paindonthurt]

By drugs do you mean the drug between a woman’s legs?

 

[boatsandhoes]

Welp that’s one kind, I have a buddy that is good friends with their tour Mgr. He used to do a lot of bookings with them in Texas. He was pretty messed up prior to miranda. Glad he is getting better.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Yeah. She'd be his Missouri River and Alcohol would be the Mississippi.

 

[paindonthurt]

Yeah I imagine it just put him over the edge!
