Phoenix calls it quits

This is taken directly from the Phoenix website.

Hello Everybody!

We have decided to call it quits!! We’d first like to thank all of our fans. Without your devoted loyalty and support, we would not have been able to spend the last seven years playing the music that we love. Second, we would like to thank all the promoters for giving us the chance to play there venues. Without you, our fans wouldn’t have been able to come out to see us!

We would also like to thank the DJs for playing our material. And last but not least, We would like to thank our families and closes friends. You guys stuck with us through the good and bad and we love you dearly for it.

May God bless each and everyone of you!

Have a Safe Holiday Season and Happy New Year!

~ David Coffey, Eddie King, Randy Driskill, and Jim Green ~

Hello Folks!
We gotta say that you Phoenix fans are the best! After we announced a few months ago that Phoenix was going to 'disband', we were overwhelmed with phone calls, emails, and comments posted on our Guestbook of how much our music has meant to so many of you. We are deeply honored by the outpouring of love you have shown to us and appreciate you more than we can express.

After much thought and consideration, we have decided that we would keep Phoenix together for limited bookings and just get out whenever we can to enjoy pickin' and making more great Phoenix music.

We are very blessed to have two of the most talented songwriters as David Coffey and Shannon Slaughter and are going to be working on a new CD project which will consist of all original music.

We would also like to thank everyone who came out to our shows last year. 2007 was great for us and this was only possible because of the support from our families, friends, and especially our fans! Please check back here again soon as things progress.

God Bless!


~ Phoenix ~
