Just in Case You Were Wondering

Just in Case You Were Wondering

An item posted yesterday at MTV.com news had Idol fans scratching their heads:

In an unexpected twist, this year’s “American Idol” third-place finisher, Elliott Yamin, is touring with Little Memphis Blues Orchestra, Taylor Hicks’ former band. LMBO followed Hicks on the American Idols Live Tour this summer and began playing with Yamin in the process.

LiMBO backed Elliott when he played the Virginia state fair a few weeks ago, but are they actually hitting the road together?  Jeff Lopez, LiMBO horn player,  speaks to the matter in this post on the official AI message boards:

With the AI finale only a month behind us we have spent this time coming up for air…to meet as a band and consider our future…we have played post gigs with Elliott Yamin (Tacoma Concert Series Coming Home Concert) in Richmond and just this week a private gig in New York with Taylor…both were amazing…

We are going to continue to work with both Elliott and Taylor as opportunities present themselves… but it is important to note that right now we are not “officially” on tour with either artist…(we are pretty sure mtv.com was referring to the fact that we played with Elliott in Richmond and it was pretty cool to see our name there) E & T are coming up for air as well and determining their path…figuring out their future…

Stay tuned…
