New fiddler for Doyle

Alan JohnsonWe hear from Suzanne Lawson that Alan Johnson, fiddler and bass singer with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver since March of 2007, will be leaving the group at the end of May.

Alan has accepted a full-time position with the U.S. Postal Service, and will be taking a break from performing as a bluegrass musician for the time being.

“Doyle is trying out fiddle players now. We’ll miss Alan’s fiddle work and bass singing.”

We hope to have an announcement about the newest member of Quicksilver soon.
