Well, it has been around nine years since the birth of Riverdale and what an amazing nine years they have been. Randy, Jason, Matt, and I have had the most amazing time traveling around the south eastern part of the United States playing shows, meeting many awesome people, and most of all serving the Lord through this ministry. Now we have come to a new chapter in life and we believe that God is calling each of us in separate directions. Even though it hurts to leave something all of us love dearly, we live to bring glory and honor to Jesus Christ and we must be obedient to His call. God has called me (Josh) to Orlando to serve as a worship leader in a church called C3 church (www.c3orlando.com). I am so excited about the movement of this church. They are a church with one purpose, "being the relevant church tirelessly devoted to changing lives for the glory of God" and I am so happy to be a part of it. As for now, Randy, Jason, and Matt will still be in the Albany area serving the Lord in various ways. We are all extremely excited about what the Lord has in store for our futures but we are even more excited about how He will use us to bring glory to His name. We will be having a Riverdale farewell show in late September, not sure on the specifics yet but we'll post them in the next few days, but you should definitely make plans to come. We are selling all our merch at half off!!! We will start the night off with all your favorite Riverdale songs… I guess we'll just play all of them since there aren't that many, and then we will end the night with a worship set. Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years and we love each one of you.
Your Friends,
Josh, Matt, Randy, and Jason
