Another one down....

According to a press release on the Singing News, Everyday Driven is coming off the road while each member goes in "different directions," which means that Paul Lancaster took the Greenes job, Buddy and Kerri Mullins are now worship leaders at a church in Gadsden, AL, and Channing Eleton is going solo. From the beginning, ED never seemed to quite get the momentum they needed to really get off the ground; they evolved from Second Mile, which was essentially Everyday Driven with Donny Henderson instead of Paul Lancaster, but somewhere along the line, Donny and the rest of the group split (within months, actually), and Donny kept the name, while the rest of the group hired Paul and and named themselves.....

It almost feels like ED was more of a Christian "garage band," so to speak - a bunch of friends who loved to sing and play together, but never made it out of the lower-tier, date wise (although they had a pretty decent amount of publicity). They way they speak, it seems that they all basically said, "Look, we've got better gig offers, we'd be dumb not to take them," as thus, they head in "different directions." At least there didn't seem to be a huge blow up as is so often the case.
