Jayke orvis biography of william

Yesterday, the .357 String Band announced that founding member and mandolin player Jayke Orvis would be leaving the band. Here is an excerpt from their MySpace blog announcing the decision:

“Due to differences in opinion on both the creative as well as business aspects of the band, Jayke Orvis is no longer a member of The .357 String Band.

Rick, Joe and I have discussed and agreed that we will be moving on together with a new member, and have secured the services of Billy Cook, from Austin TX. Jayke is a stellar musician, we appreciate his contribution over the last 5 years of touring and recording, and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

“Billy Cook is currently a member of Corinne Rose, as well as a touring musician with Bob Wayne and the Outlaw Carnies.
