Great news for fans of hit-making band Shenandoah!  Lead singer Marty Raybon will be re-joining the band in October after 17 years out on his own.  Known for hits such as “The Church on Cumberland Road,” “Next to You Next to Me” and “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart” over a 13-year run together, Raybon talks about the reunion with his band mates.

“We were not a band that broke up because of dissension,” he insists.  “We had our disagreements, as partners do in a business relationship, [but] we were then and remain to be friends.  Returning to the band had actually been talked about on several different occasions throughout the years.  I’ve always been truly proud of what we accomplished… the songs we recorded, the way they moved people.  For years, all of us have heard what those tunes, those stories, meant to folks.  We feel there is more to be said.  So it’s time to reload and fulfill the request, not only of our hearts but for all the fans who want to see us back together.”

More information about the reunion will be announced soon.  Stay tuned!
