Throw Rag washboard player Craig Jackman is leaving the band. On the group's website Jacko posted the following:

I'm sorry to tell you that I will not be touring with the band anymore.  I love Throw Rag and I loved touring but I've reached a point in my life where I would like to focus on starting a family and spend more time in my tattoo shop and building motorcycles.  I love you all and will miss each and every one of you.

The band bid Craig farewell in their recent news update:

This "is what it is" as they say, who are "they" anyways? There are no hard feelings, there was no blow out, none of the obvious "I'm quitting" stuff. Jacko wants to be a home body, start a family etc… so that requires being at home and as you all know Throw Rag doesn't spend much time at home. We love and will miss Jacko and still talk to him all the time "hey dude what's that place you we're telling me does the cheap acupuncture?" stuff like that.

There's no word on if there will be a replacement yet. Throw Rag is hitting the road in October with Gogol Bordello and Scotch Greens. We announced the dates earlier this month.
