Turnstile Part Ways With Founding Guitarist Brady Ebert
Turnstile are parting ways with founding guitarist Brady Ebert, the band have announced in an Instagram story. “We are deeply grateful for our time together,” Turnstile wrote. “Our love for him continues and we wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
Brady Ebert and vocalist Brendan Yates co-founded Turnstile in 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland, with bassist and vocalist Franz Lyons, drummer Daniel Fang, and guitarist Sean Cullen (who later left the band and was replaced by Pat McCrory). Ebert performed on all three of the band’s studio albums to date, including last year’s commercial breakthrough Glow On.
Ebert played with Turnstile for the group’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, a much-talked-about performance that premiered in January, as well as on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! that aired in March. Ebert was not present, however, for the band’s performance on a May episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon; Greg Cerwonka instead played guitar with Turnstile on Fallon. Cerwonka also performed with the band during their run of spring shows. There has been no indication that upcoming tour dates will be affected by the news.
