Matthew Good guitarist returns to band (Friday, August 31, 2001) http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusicArtistsG/good_matthew.html By PAUL CANTIN -- Senior Reporter, JAM! Showbiz Just days after the Matthew Good Band announced the departure of guitarist Dave Genn, JAM! Music has learned he has returned to the fold. A source at the band's label, Universal Music Canada, confirmed Friday that some time Thursday, Genn and the rest of the band worked out their differences, and the guitarist was expected to perform with them at a Sept. 15 show in Saskatoon. Earlier in the week, Good released a statement saying that Genn was out of the band, and would be replaced for the forseeable future by Ryan Dahle (Limblifter, The Age Of Electric). The quick turnaround is especially surprising because Good had made it sound in his original announcement as if the break with Genn had been festering for some time. "I would like to say that this news is brand spanking new, but it's been a while in the making, to be honest," Good said in his original statement, which was first reported at the fan site www.runningforhome.net. A reason for the abrupt change-of-heart was not known. Meanwhile, Good is planning a book tour to promote the Oct. 1 release of his collection "At Last There Is Nothing Left To Say," which is described as manifestos, both previously published at his website and some brand new material.
