Changes afoot with The Duhks
It appears that lead singer Jessee Havey has left The Duhks mid-tour, with Sarah Dugas stepping in for at least the short term. The band simply indicated that Havey was “taking an extended leave from the band to pursue other endeavors. We wish her the best of luck in everything she does.”
The Duhks MySpace blog has some band feedback on how things are going.
You can find their tour dates on the band’s official web site.
