At the end of 2005, Dave Short left the group and was replaced on lead guitar by Pete Bailey. The band was beginning to gel with a new sound courtesy of Pete's Fender Stratocaster. The band played a show at the Coalfield Jamboree on April 8th, 2006 which was Pete's debut with the band. The show was taped for later radio broadcast and was hosted by WVOW's Erin Williamson. The setlist of songs the band played that night included Red Dirt Road, Time Marches On, Third Rate Romance, 5 O'Clock Somewhere, Come A Little Closer, Fast As You, Take It Easy, Margaritaville, Lot Of Leaving Left To Do, The Fireman and T For Texas. The show and Pete's debut with the band were both great successes.
On June 4, 2006, Pete was killed in an automobile accident. He is sadly missed by the band.
Dave Short returned to help the band to fill its outstanding obligations. He remains the 119 South Band's lead guitarist today.
