As posted on the official Blue Merle website, the band is apparently calling it quits following the upcoming Rites of Spring Festival performance. Citing no particular catalyst, the band simply announced the curtain call and thanked fans for their continued support.
“Just a few weeks away from our hometown show at Vanderbilt’s Rites of Spring Festival. We need to let you all know that this will be the last Blue Merle Show. We remain close as friends and will still be collaborating together on some levels, but we feel the time is right for us to pursue individual paths in music and life. This has been a tough decision for us after such an amazing run together. We deeply thank all those who have helped us out along the way, whether it meant letting us sleep on your floor in the beginning, or stopping by our site to show us support, or coming out to a show.”
