It was confirmed this morning on their social media page that Curtis Rempel, the youngest member of High Valley, has left the duo. Curtis has returned to his home in Alberta to open a business with his wife!

In the post, Curtis says, “On the road and touring with High Valley is the only life I’ve ever known since I was 15 years old. It has always been my older brother Brad‘s passion, and during quarantine my wife and I have had some amazing time to discuss our own passions, dreams, and goals. We began to think of things we could start from the ground up and build together.”

Brad Rempel is still committed to High Valley and they mention that they still have new music on the way! In the post, Brad sends words of encouragement to his younger brother saying, “I wish Curtis nothing but the best, and I promise to keep at least one extra mandolin on the bus next time we’re in Alberta… just in case he feels like joining us on stage.”

 

Curtis is excited to see his brother still pursue his passion of country music saying, “I look forward to seeing where Brad and the rest of the band take High Valley in the next few years as they continue touring and recording new music. I wish them all the best and hope that they always wear my handcrafted belts on stage!”
