David Childers
and the
modern don juans

 

I can't let this go without at least noting it. David Childers and the Modern Don Juans are hanging it up, at least in their current incarnation. In September, Childers sent out the following email to his followers:

HEADS UP After our show with the Bill Noonan band at Rodi on December 29, the Modern Don Juans and I will disperse to do other things with our lives and our talents. Mark will be producing records, and playing with Hot Rod Greased Lightning and Lou Ford. Robert will be playing and touring with 2013 Wolves and Alina Simone, Randy and I will be working on a duo act and writing new songs, as well as other projects.

We are all excited about the new opportunities life is giving us, and something tells me that we will reunite one of these days to play the music we have enjoyed playing for the last 4 years.

This is a friendly, thought out change. I believe it will result in all of us expanding our horizons and creating something new. We are all very grateful to those of you who have come to our shows, encouraged and supported us, bought our records, been our friends here and abroad. I can say that it has been a very rewarding and life changing experience. That is why the show will go on, just in a different way.

The website, www.davidchilders.com will stay open for news, show dates, and sales. I hope you will all come there from time to time. The music and the poetry will continue. Again, my thanks to all of you. DC

I had the privilege of seeing DC and the MDJ perform once in Knoxville and it was memorable. Anyone who can should go see them before they hang it up. Really. Here is the schedule currently posted on his website but check back for changes. . .
