Do you want the good news or the bad news first?



We'll just start with the bad and get it over with . If you do not know already, The Transcenders have decided to hang it up. Life calls and people's priorities change. There are new chapters in the book of life being written for some. These new commitments will make dedication and time difficult . blah, blah, blah . Look, we've all heard it before, but bottom line is keeping 5 talented people and their families all headed in the same direction with the same goal is damn near impossible. It does happen and people do make it, but it's a hard hard road to travel.  As a band we decided that there was too much love and friendship between the 5 of us to let the pressures of taking a band to the next level and the next and the next from tearing us and our families apart.



That being said, here comes the good news .



**** One show to rule them all, one last dance, one more shrimp on the bar-b, one last chance to shake that money maker. ****
