Kenton Shelley Band Announces a Line-Up Change
As of July 11, 2008, bassist, Jon Skiff, is no longer playing for the Kenton Shelley Band. The decision came about due to personal, as well as, professional circumstances. The members of KSB are glad to have had the opportunity to play with Skiff, and appreciates the many fond memories he’s left us with. KSB encourages its fans to continue to follow and support Skiff in his solo-acoustic career and other musical ventures.
But fans of the Kenton Shelley Band have nothing to fear. KSB is excited to announce the August 2nd return of original member, bassist, Jason Hankey. After a two year hiatus, Hankey will rejoin the band, bringing back the fat, unique blend of bass styling that helped form KSB into one of the region’s premier bands.
With the return of Jason Hankey, KSB will continue the songwriting and musical arranging that has taken the band to such great highs as shows at the Bitter End (NYC), Brownies (Philly), and the opening slot for Josh Kelly at the Rusty Rudder (Dewey Beach, DE), among others.
KSB will be playing the remaining shows in July as an acoustic trio, much like how it all started. You should enjoy it!
Thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to our lauded live shows, new originals, and some new interpretations of your favorite songs.
Sincerely,
Kenton, Tony, & Vito
-KSB
