11/14/07: Founding guitarist Joseph Colasante has
left The Green Evening
Requiem. Joe's musical and personal focus has moved away from ours
and he can no longer invest himself creatively with the band.
Therefore Joe has left on good terms and pursues another path.
Joe has been a driving musical force behind the band since he first
started writing and recording with Evan Madden in 1998. Joe's guitar
style and aesthetic values have definitively shaped the musical
atmosphere and song-writing style of The Green Evening Requiem.
All of Joe's guitar tracks for the upcoming album have been completed,
thus tying up all loose musical ends. He can now say that every song
he's ever written for The Green Evening Requiem has been recorded.
An important era for the band ends, and another begins.
Keyboardist/guitarist Joe Winiarski is playing full-time guitar for
the time being or perhaps permanently. We are currently seeking the
right person to join The Green Evening Requiem as a new member. We
are not looking to replace Joe Colasante, but we want someone who
truly understands our musical approach and sound. Most importantly,
someone who is dedicated to, and passionate about, the music we play.
