Jason Crosby joined Robert Randolph & The Family Band back in October 2003 after keyboardist John Ginty left the group. Now Crosby has announced that he will step away from the Family Band to focus on his solo career. He will appear with his group at New York City’s Sullivan Hall on December 18 with some additional steady area gigging targeted for the future. While Crosby intends to direct his energies on his solo efforts, he also has indicated that he may pick up some dates with the Blind Boys of Alabama as he has done on occasion over the past year.
