Jon Snodgrass, formerly of Drag the River and Armchair Martian, is going to be playing a string of solo appearances alongside fellow reclining alien Chad Rex. Reports are that Snodgrass will be "stripping down Drag The River's gritty and infectious punk–tinged rustic rock into a subdued, minimalist format" and that Chad Rex will continue his "pop–inclined roots stylings" that he is known for around the Kansas City area.

Drag The River called it quits this year after Snodgrass left the tour with Rocky Votalato.
