He is a talented guitar player, a dedicated band-mate, and we're confident that he'll be a great addition to Such Gold. We look forward to touring and writing our full-length with him this Spring.

With Tim gone and Skylar on vocal duty, our good friend Kevin Mahoney from Hit The Lights will be filling in on guitar for a few of our May dates.

See you on the road!"
