"At this point in his life," said Gomes, "Biscuit needs some time off the road. We love him and miss him but, as brothers, we both support and respect his decision."

Miller was honored by Anthony and the band over Labor Day Weekend in Nashville with a celebration dubbed "Biscuit Fest." Friends and fans traveled from nearly a dozen different states to pay tribute to Biscuit's tenure with the band, which includes full-time touring for over four years and performing on five out of Gomes' six CDs. Miller plans on focusing his time on his family and playing locally in Indianapolis and Chicago, supplemented with short-term tours as opportunities present themselves. Miller was involved in choosing his replacement and he approved the decision.

Gomes' new lineup includes David Karns (St. Louis, Missouri) on bass, Peter Lang (St. Louis, Missouri) on drums, and veteran Todd Hamric (Memphis, Tennessee) on keyboards and organ.

Anthony and the organization wish to thank Biscuit for his time and work with the band and would like to thank their fans who will all miss Biscuit but have already opened their arms to the new members.
