Galactic’s Singer To Depart
Galactic singer Theryl “The Houseman” DeClouet will leave the band after the current summer tour. A veteran soul singer with roots in the rich New Orleans funk tradition, DeClouet has been a member of the band for nearly 10 years.
DeClouet will perform with Galactic on the final leg of its summer tour, beginning August 12 at Howelsen Hill in Steamboat, Colorado.
The road trip culminates in a two-night run at San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium September 10 -11.
An official statement from Galactic about DeClouet’s departure read in part: “After almost 10 years of recording and touring the world together, we are announcing that Theryl ‘The Houseman’ DeClouet will no longer be a permanent member of Galactic. We have made this decision together. … We look forward to the times when we will collaborate in the future.”
Details about a special all instrumental tour, slated to begin in mid-October, will be released soon.
