Alternative Rock Band Anberlin Says This Year Is Its Last Together
Band has its roots in Winter Haven
There will be one more album, one more tour and one more goodbye for Anberlin in 2014.
The Polk County-bred alternative rock band Anberlin announced it plans to do a farewell album and world tour this year, said a representative for the band.
The band posted a YouTube video on its website, featuring the members talking about their 12-year journey of starting in a small town (Winter Haven), touring the world playing their music and the struggles that go with it.
The band members said in the video they owe their fans for their success and want this final tour to be a celebration of the life that was Anberlin.
Anberlin consists of Stephen Christian (vocals), Joseph Milligan (guitar), Nathan Young (drums), Christian McAlhaney (guitar) and Deon Rexroat (bass).
Earlier this month, the band announced it will be part of this year's Vans Warped Tour, which kicks off June 13 in Houston and concludes Aug. 3 in Denver, with two Central Florida stops in St. Petersburg on July 25 and Orlando on July 27.
A date has not been announced for the release of their seventh and final album.
