Sevendust Announce The Return Of Longtime Guitar Player Clint Lowery
Sevendust is pleased to announce the return of original guitar player Clint
Lowery to the band. Lowery was with Sevendust when they formed in 1995 and
singed to TVT Records in 1997. Lowery was a key member of the Sevendust
attack throughout the their TVT years which saw the band release Sevendust
(1997) Home (1999), Animosity (2001), Seasons (2003) and Southside Double
Wide (2003). After leaving TVT in 2003 the band and Lowery mutually parted
ways, with Lowery moving on to join his brother in the band Dark New Day.
Sevendust brought in former Snot guitar player Sonny Mayo to replace Lowery
and went on to release three full length albums. Next (2004) on the now
defunct Winedark Records, Alpha (2007) on 7Bros. Records, Sevendust’s wholly
owned label through Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group and Chapter
VII: Hope & Sorrow which comes out April 1st on 7Bros/Asylum.
Sevendust statements on Lowery’s return:
“This was extremely tough considering Sonny is our brother and has been
amazing to work with. He didn’t do anything wrong at all, we just owe it to
ourselves and all the folks that grew up with us to put our original band
back together. Clint has always been our brother and Sonny will always
remain our brother as well. We are sorry to say goodbye to Sonny and I’m
sure this will be tough on the fans that follow him, but we’re excited about
reuniting the original lineup of Sevendust.” Morgan Rose, Drums
“Everything happens for a reason. Sonny is an incredible person and we thank
him for everything. Just like when you leave home, you come back! Hopefully
everyone will understand the decision we have made. God bless you all.
Welcome home Clint Lowery.” LaJon Witherspoon, Vocals
Sevendust’s new record Chapter VII: Hope & Sorrow is out on Tuesday, April
