Breaking: Grubb To Exit Railroad Earth

“I’m a lawyer’s son, so when it became apparent that this deal was probably going to actually happen, it kinda screwed up my plan,” Grubb says. “I couldn’t sign a piece of paper committing myself to RRE and touring for the next 3 to 4 years when I knew good and well that I didn’t have it in me. Then’s when I knew I had to tell my bandmates what was going on with me. Needless to say, they were probably a little surprised themselves. I gave them until the end of next May, but they’ve rightly decided that since a new record needs to be written, and we won’t be on the road while that’s happening, it’s probably best to just go ahead and call it.”

Grubb goes on to praise his bandmates and the band and say he’s “lucky to be able to say goodbye to a few of my favorite cities in America.”

Grubb first joined Railroad Earth in 2003, replacing original bassist Dave Von Dollen. He appeared on 2004’s widely praised “The Good Life,” the RRE live effort “Elko” and its most recent studio disc, 2008’s “Amen Corner.”

Railroad Earth hasn’t yet commented on who will replace Grubb in 2010.
