Nothin’ Fancy hires new bass player

Event Details

This just in from Nothin’ Fancy.

Nothin’ Fancy announces with sadness that bassist Tony Shorter has left the band due to personal reasons. In his stead, the band is pleased to announce Eli Johnston, recently of Branson, Missouri but now of Lexington, Virginia as our new bassist. He made his debut at last night’s show in Wind Gap, Pennsylvania.

We encourage everyone to say hi, get to know Eli, and make him welcome!
