The AJ Lee & Blue Summit band touring van was rear-ended by a large Ford F250 pick-up truck while traveling on Highway 160 in the Navajo Nation, AZ on Wednesday evening, September 8, ending the band’s first extended national tour early.
The accident, which caused significant damage to the rented van, apparently did not cause serious injury to band members. The San Jose-based band was enroute to a Friday, September 10 performance in Ahwahnee, CA after their weekend shows at the Four Corners Folk Festival in Pagosa Springs, CO.
Two band members, AJ Lee and Jesse Fichman, are members of the NCBS Board of Directors.
