States founding E.O.E. member/songwriter/guitarist Brandon S. Patton: "After some great rehearsals these past few days, we are stoked about our new guitarist, Sam Young. He's 28 years old, an ultra-cool guy who is an experienced touring musician, and fits in very well with the band. The difference he makes in our live sound is night and day, and I look forward to introducing him to you all."

The complete band line-up is now: Francine Boucher (vocals), Brandon S. Patton (guitars), Sam Young (guitars), Duane Cowan (bass), Kirk Carrison (drums).
