JOB FOR A COWBOY drummer JON RICE has amicably left the band, with whom he has played since 2007.
Rice made the following statement, which sheds little light on reasons for his departure:
“As of this past August, I have decided to part ways with Job for a Cowboy. There are a few reasons for this, none of which I’m going to get into.
“That being said, I have no intentions of stopping touring or playing. I honestly love to tour and play live with new people, so I look forward to playing in new musical arenas in the future.
“The dudes and I are on very good terms with this and they understand the decision. They have a new record in the making and I’m extremely excited to hear it.
“Thanks again to everyone.”
For their part, the band has yet to comment on the matter.
