Randy Barns joins Josh Williams
Josh Williams has announced a personnel change for the Josh Williams Band. Bass player Tim Dishman has elected to spend more time at home with his family, and to devote more time to his day job.
Randy Barnes comes into the group to replace Dishman. No, not that Randy Barnes, this one.
Randy formerly played bass with New Found Road. Since parting ways with NFR, Randy has been looking for a band that he felt was the right fit for him. It seems he found it with the Josh Williams Band.
We look forward to hearing him with this exciting young band.
