These Hearts Part Ways With Bassist

These Hearts have parted ways with bass player Tyler Rice.

The band has yet to announce a replacement for Rice, who is still being listed as a member on the bands Facebook page. Rice's full statement about his departure can be read below. 

“Life Update:

I don't know if I've actually wrote this on the internet yet but, I am no longer playing shows/touring with These Hearts. It's safe to say the 3 years I spent in the band were some of my best. I made great memories and even greater friends.

Some highlights include:

-Recording and releasing a ton of music and music videos.

-Being featured on TV.

-Seeing the entire country (except for HI, AK, and WA).

-Sharing Christ with others.

-Playing multiple shows and spending countless hours in a van with 5 amazing people who I've grown to love and respect. Ryan Saunders, Kyle Colby, Isaiah Folk, Daryl Van Beek, and Dan Helmen.

I'm currently studying at MSUM where I've changed my major from Music to Elementary and Special Education. I changed my major because I want music to be something I continue to explore and create on my own. I don't want to box in and/or confine my musical experiences to fulfill credits in school. That just ruins what music is to me.”
