I feel like running around and shouting, “The Sky is falling! The Sky is falling!”

All right, maybe that’s an exaggeration. But to have both the Florida Boys and Three Bridges disband on the same day, plus more information coming out on JBIF’s disbanding (can’t find the link, but discussion on the Singing News board over whether it was too few dates or whether it was Stephanie wanting to go to college), plus yesterday’s story that Signature Sound is not getting another pianist…sometimes when things like this get going, everything starts happening.

It is official; the Florida Boys will retire in July. Their booking agency, Harper, posted a headline on their website (but no article yet, or at any rate a bad link if there is an article.)

Before Harper posted, I emailed Les Beasley asking if it was official for the record. He replied:

Much to our sorrow the retirement stories are true.

Thanks for your concern and may God bless you and yours,

Les Beasley

One can hardly blame them for going out at the top of their game.

So says Averyfineline. I’ll post more when I know more.

If this happens, my biggest regret would be that I never got to hear Glen Allred sing baritone live and in person.

EDIT: That didn’t take long. It’s up on the Harper Agency website now, though they have a dud link which they’ll hopefully fix soon. At any rate, the headline is there: “Florida Boys to Retire in July.”
