It’s the end of an era for the Okay Crawdad.

Last weekend, bandleader Nick Shoulders said this tour would be the last for the foreseeable future alongside multi-instrumentalist Grant D’Aubin and drummer Cheech Moosekian, who’ve played on every album by the y’allternative band.

“…we all love each other enough to take steps not to lose friendships to the grind of relentless touring. The road is unkind, this industry is unkind, but we’re going to do our best to remain kindred,” Shoulders wrote on social media.

Tickets to see Nick Shoulders and the Okay Crawdad play Crowbar in Ybor City on Saturday, Jan. 25 are still available and start at $20.
