Here's a press release.....
For something like two months, a persistent rumor has been making the rounds
that Aaron McCune is leaving Gold City and Tim Riley is returning. A press
release today confirms that the first half is true: Aaron McCune is indeed
leaving. Or, perhaps, he's already left, judging by the past tense wording
in the press release-"following the departure of Aaron McCune."
According to the press release, though, Gold City is seeking auditions for
another bass singer, so the second half of the rumor (that Tim Riley is
returning) may not be true. So the jury is still out on that one.
Last weekend was pianist Josh Simpson's final weekend with the group before
returning to college, and it's been less than a month since Chris Cooper was
announced as the replacement for departing tenor Steve Ladd.
With turnover at three of the five positions in the group within the past
month, a Tim Riley return would be just the boost Gold City needs right now.
His return-even if only for a year or two-would generate enough buzz to give
the new lineup time to get on its feet and become established
