It’s with regret that The Breakfast have to announce the departure of our longtime bassist and friend Ron Spears. Ron has been with the band since its inception in 1998 and has been playing with Tim and Adrian since 1993. Ron and his wife are expecting a baby in Spring of 2008 and Ronny will be pursuing a career in teaching.
[INDENT]“After much soul searching over the past year I have come to the decision that I can no longer commit to the goals of The Breakfast. I have spent the last 9 years fully committed to the success and touring of The Breakfast; however, I feel that my aspirations have changed, as they sometimes do in life, and it is now time for me to follow a different path. This has been one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. Being a part of this band has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life, full of memories and familiarity that I cannot soon forget. I wish my friends and band mates nothing but success in their musical journeys.” - Ron Spears[/INDENT]
Tim says, “We are sad to lose a musical brother on stage and we wish Ron and his family all the best with everything. He is an inspiration to us all and we will keep the music going in honor of his spirit and hard work. We are currently auditioning bass players and plan to keep touring in 2008.”
Ron will be finishing the year out with five shows left on the calendar. Gigs include this Saturday’s Asbury Park appearance at The Saint, River Street in Wilkes-Barre, Middle East in Boston, Toad’s Place in New Haven, and New Year’s Eve at the Electric Company in Utica, NY.
Please join us in celebration of all that Ron has given us musically!
