Yes I also saw them recently minus Jason. Of course I missed his voice in the songs. I’m just so sad that things haven’t turned out peacefully for them bc they all seem like great blokes and shared so much together. Anyway the other boys did an awesome job and I loved every minute of the show. They sang all their hits and I sang every word of every song. It took me back 20 years when I was totally goo gaa for them.

Thanks for stopping by, Georgia! I appreciate your nostalgic comments, too! I touch base with Jason occasionally on Twitter, and the live shows he's put together recently (the "Legends" show, in particular) are incredible, and I wish he could take them on the road (but I know how hard that would be off the continent)! You're welcome anytime!

Found myself here after some nostalgic googling. My wife and I saw Taxiride play last weekend, sadly minus Jason Singh. Seems there’s trouble in pop-rock paradise, with a trademark dispute between Singh and the two Tims.

The 1-down Taxiride put on a cracking show, but the rearranged harmonies were just a bit off for lack of a fourth voice.

Glad you found us, Dave! Thank goodness for "nostalgic googling"! I appreciate the added info; I had no idea. I knew Jason was recording solo the last few years, and embarked on that incredible "Legends" tribute show, but I was unaware of the band troubles. Hate to see it, and hope the four can reach some sort of agreement.

I suspect (however much an ego blow this recent band-shunning must be) that Jason not only feels he has, but actually has, somewhat "outgrown" the group, and is ready to move on, artistically. Just a guess, taking into account (especially) the "Legends" show. If he wanted to, and the venues could be booked, he could/should travel the world with it!

Thanks again, Dave.....come for the Taxiride; feel free to stay for the rest of the ride, subscribing, if you haven't already!! And, do feel free to peruse the FR&B Archives, as well!🎼🎵😁👍
