John Lawless | November 3, 2011 | "Along with their move to the Nashville area from Oklahoma, Rockin’ Acoustic Circus has made a couple of personnel changes. The group got their start when original band members were studying with Rick Morton - he took on the guitar player role when RAC began touring as young teens. It had been in the plan for some time that Rick step aside when a suitable replacement closer to the age of the other members could be found. Read the rest here...
