At the conclusion of the band’s summer tour, Galactic and Theryl “The Houseman” DeClouet will part company. A member of the jam band for nearly its entire decade-long career, the veteran singer is exiting amicably.
“We all view our years of collaboration as a magical experience,” the band says in a statement. “From the beginning, Theryl has been a musical inspiration, mentor, partner and most importantly a friend. Although Theryl will not be continuing with us he will always remain a huge part of the Galactic family… We look forward to the times when we will collaborate in the future.”
Galactic’s summer tour kicks off tomorrow (Aug. 12) in Steamboat, Col., and will close with a Sept. 10-11 stand at San Francisco’s Fillmore Theater. An October instrumental tour is being planned.
