As many of you know, the OP Presents Tour will be my last with VersaEmerge. After considering many things, I’ve decided to take a break from touring and performing music. Although I love what we do, I have decided that being on the road is not for me. It’s was an incredibly hard decision but I feel like it’s something I have to do; it would be selfish of me to adjust my priorities to fit my career. With that said, I want everyone to know that my relationship with VE hasn’t changed at all. I’ll always support the band as if I were still a part of it and will always consider Blake, Sierra and Devin my closest friends.
I want to thank all of you for your tireless support of VE and I. We’re so lucky to have people who genuinely care for us and our music. I’ll of course miss you all to death and know you’ll continue to support the band as much as I do. There is much to look forward to- I can assure you that this is only the beginning for VE. I think we all know that the band and its music will always provide all of us with the entertainment, inspiration and love it always has.
Yours,
-Jerry
p.s. We appreciate everyone that offered to fill Jerry’s shoes, but we are not looking for a guitarist. So please do not reach out to us.
In other news, we have started working on our new full length. We are currently in LA doing some writing and recording.
Everyone, we understand that the word is out about Jerry and you all would like to know what’s going on. We are just kids who play music for you, This is not a soap opera filled with drama. We would never try to disrespect anyone purposely and we ask the same from all of you.
Jerry is choosing to leave the band. There are some family things going on and he’s decided it’s best to address them from home. Touring is a hard way to live and in order to decide if you want to live that way you need to experience it. There are absolutely no hard feelings and we will remain best friends forever and always. And for those of you that know him and watch our videos, youve seen how damn clever and hilarious he is. And yes it’s sad to see him go but we support his plans and know that he will make a kick ass lawyer, scientist, stripper or whatever he chooses to do.
Also I’m sure you guys think the band is in a weird place right now after we’ve kicked out Anthony and now Jerry is leaving, but this is a great learning proccess for us. We don’t even have a full length record out yet, our career as a band hasn’t even begun! We are just getting started and have a long way to go. Our music will still be Versaemerge and that’s what matters in the long run. We are just asking you guys to support us the way you have been since the beginning. It’s such a good feeling to know that there are people who love us and our music. Thank you all so much for being cool.
