We’re all alive but things aren’t good. Please wish Madi well. She needs everything everyone’s got right now. Also if you usually talk to Madi feel free to reach out to me instead I’ll talk to you and give you updates. Thanks.

Family and friends, Our son (Brandon), our daughter in law (Madi) and their two “Year of the Knife” band mates, Andy and Aaron, were touring out west and were involved in a terrible accident after a show in Salt Lake City,UT. It’s been a heart wrenching time for all families involved. Brandon was concussed, but is miraculously ok. Aaron and Andy both sustained broken legs and other trauma…but are stable now and recovering. Madi is in critical condition with major trauma. Please keep her in your prayers. No tickets were available to fly out today or tomorrow. So, we will be going out to Salt Lake on Saturday to help with whatever comes next.

We wish them a speedy recovery.
