My old room mate is doing an internship at Jive records, which is Maria Mena's label. My friend found out that Nate, our favorite drummer, has left Vanessa's tour band and will now be playing with Maria. I was looking forward to seeing him on tour this fall! Apparently, Maria has also (to use her words) "stolen" Michelle Branch's guitar player and keyboardist. If anyone has met Nate, they'll know he's the nicest and sweetest guy and will be missed on tour.
