One of the Cities’ hardest-working and best-loved country bands, the Killer Hayseeds, are having a truly horrendous year. First, bassist Ross Florand passed away in July from heart failure. Now comes word that singer/fiddler Darin Essery fell from scaffolding on a job last Friday and suffered a brain injury that has left him in the ICU at North Memorial Hospital. According to the CaringBridge site set up for Essery’s friends, he is scheduled to have more surgery this afternoon. Check the CaringBridge site for updates, and leave your well wishes there.
