Wow, ok, this is very tough.  After some difficult deliberation, I, Jim, have decided to move back to Athens, GA.  While we've made many great new friends across KY and have enjoyed playing around the state, I've continuned to become more and more disatisfied with living here in my small town where I feel like an outsider.  Unfortunatley, Bryan and Ulises have commitments that will keep them in KY, so Cigarello will be on an indefinate hiatus.  As most of you know, the three of us have been playing togther for almost twelve years now and walking away from this band is the hardest choice I've ever made.  I love these boys like brothers and rest assured that we are parting on the best of terms.  Reunion shows or a full-fledged reunion are certainly not out of the question for the future, but for the next few months, I know that we'll all be busy trying to find new directions and creative outlets.  Please keep coming to this site to hear our music and leaving us comments, it means more to us than you can immagine.  If any of you guys can make it out to the Dame in lexington on Dec. 27th, please do so and help us say goodbye (for now).  Again, I apreciate all the support everyone has given us the past five months.  This page will continue to be active and will depart any news about us that pops up!  I love this band and my bandmates and have enjoyed making cigarello music for the past decade plus!  Thanks...  JIM
