Joel Lee is out of "Bobby T's Electric Circus"!!!

Well, I was actually asked to leave the band because the other performance commitments I had were beginning to increase. Bobby T. plays out more frequently than any other act I have ever been involved in (one time having 8 shows in one month). However when he was booking shows and saying yes too early (before notifying other band members), it sometimes caused conflicts. I would do my best to find out these dates so I didn't double-book myself, but if I had already booked a show with a different act, he would not give me the same courtesy. The few times throughout my tenure when I had gig conflicts, Jim Ronca or Domenic would sub for me on bass. I have been able to dodge this bullet pretty affectively for over 2 years (playing in other bands), but this past September had a few major conflicts which I could not break in his favor. Maybe this separation is in Bobby's best interest as Russ and Domenic are more readily able to commit to shows with no other obligations. I cannot sacrifice my other projects for one single band either. (unless if it is Celion Dion.) ;)

Please keep in mind that there is no bad blood between me and Bobby or any other member. I am sure there will be another day the four of us will be playing again at some point.

I will miss the high energy performances, as well as our own unique antics we had. I am proud to have been a member of this project. Russ, you are an amazing player and I am proud of what you have had to recently overcome! Domenic, my brother from the "Rapture" days, I will definately miss performing with you, and best of luck with your new-found 4-string responsibilities. And Bobby, I wish to say thank you for all the huge performance opportunities you have given me. Best of luck and God bless you and your family.

Also, a big huge thank you to all of you who supported this project and those that I befriended along the way. Hopefully I will see you at other shows.

All of my October '05 dates and beyond have been cancelled with this band. ---Joel Lee 10/5/05

PROJECTS

Jenn Taylor
JEN's WEBSITE!!! Carrie Ashton, Joel Lee, and Jennifer Taylor
Ok....first off...Jenn blinked....I am not boring her to death.....or am I? Jenn Taylor (known simply as "Jen") is someone I have known for over 3 years now. I met her at Fat Daddy's in Watertown CT, where she sang acoustic when FRO was not performing. She is a great singer/songwriter and she is finally making a disc that I am sure will get her far. I have been asked to provide the bass tracks and I am having a blast doing it.
Her producer has a lot of experience and talent. Both of her CDs sound absolutely "STELLAR"! Watch out for this girl!
