Josh Cobb No Longer With Gold City
In the final change from the “too good to be true” lineup of Gold City, tenor singer Josh Cobb announced on Facebook today that he and Gold City are parting ways:
I got a call from Danny’s friend Jason Maise yesterday informing me that Gold City was going to let me go because of “logistical” reasons. As most of you know, I live in Oklahoma City and my wife has worked in the field of genetic research for the past decade. There is not much of that going on in Gadsden, AL so it was impossible for us to move there.
I’m a little sad. A little relieved. Looking forward to singing my songs again. I love the Riley’s and Bruce and his family. I enjoyed my time with “The City”.
I can’t say much more than what other bloggers have already said: we’ll miss Josh and hope to see him back in SG soon. However, Brandon Coomer says that a replacement is to be named soon. No word yet on how the change affects the release of their upcoming mainline project, Somebody’s Coming (although it was apparently pulled from Providence Distribution’s list not long ago) or those who pre-ordered it already, although I’d imagine it will be released with the new tenor’s vocals.



So sorry to hear that Josh Cobb is no longer with Gold City Quartet for logistical reasons. I can certainly understand the problem with flying from Oklahoma to Alabama every week with the hassles that the airlines must put us through nowadays for our own safety. I recently saw Josh with Gold City at Hartville Kitchen, Hartville, Ohio
But, please be sure to give my condolences to both Gold City and Josh Cobb as well. I do hope that he can get back into Southern Gospel Music soon.
Josh, best regards to you and your wife.
