8th Day

8th Day formed in the winter of 2004 when Scott Harvey put out the call for talented musicians. The band has undergone several line-up changes with various guitarists and bass players coming and going. The band just morphed yet again with the sad departure of 8th Day favorite, Lincoln. Unfortunately, Lincoln could not keep up with the rigorous tour schedule as it was cutting into his quilting time. Actually, he took a job up in Watertown, NY making great money and commuted back and forth for a 400 mile round trip twice a month. It was not a bad parting however, and you can rest assured that he will be making cameo appearances from time to time in the future. However, when the gods of Rock and Roll slam the door in your face (and then kick you in the nads and punch you in the kidneys for good measure) they open a window.... or at least have the decency to install a cat flap in the door the just slammed in your face. Many guitarists tried to come through this cat flap. Only one of them made it unscathed. Jin Soo Jeon.
