Really enjoyed their two albums and seeing them live. What the heck happened? Joe and Rich seem to have fell off the social media wagon. any rumors or insider info?

Joseph hasn't fallen off of social media. He's been busy as usual. His last studio album only came out a year ago. He has also been going through a tough time personally. He's been blogging about it. He was again struggling with substance abuse and family issues and emotionally bad shit - he seems to be working hard to straighten things out. But he still finished a short residency in LA recently, and I read that he collaborated with someone (can't remember who) while abroad - they apparently recorded an album over a handful of days, so we might see that in some form soon.
Richard... well, he teaches drumming to kids and has gigs here and there with various people. He also released that single that he collaborated on with Jeff in the summer (it's not good IMO). He posts pretty regularly on Facebook, so if you friend request him you can know what he's up to.
In any case, he seems to be doing a lot better than he was. I hope he keeps things on a positive track. I absolutely love Joe; he is one of my favorite singer/songwriters of all time. Every album he puts out is just phenomenal (and real quality too, vinyl-wise), and I can't wait to hear what's next.

Does anyone have one. It was chaotic and very poor. Looked off his head. But i just assumed stressed as i thought he was clean . Last time before that he was drinking diet coke and chatted for ages to us after. But this time drinking booze and was very brief and getting girls phone numbers after. A different beast.

Now I'm totally confused though. I assume the last time I saw them was 2016, and for my DC show I thought the band was excellent but the crowd sucked where I was standing (like one guy, totally visible to everyone onstage, never looked up from his bright light phone the.entire.CONCERT!). Only Joseph came out after, but he seemed totally with it, looked healthy... now I'm confused if he was just having a good night or I didn't see them when I thought I did? I can't keep track of anything that happened more than 3 months ago LOL!
Or at least a day until they get together again and it's a new day?
Bummed that they're not feeling it now (even if maybe they *will* feel it again later), but for all the reasons you've all listed, I understand how they feel that way.
I saw RNDM in Seattle 2016 - their first show for Ghost Riding- and thought it was a great show, both band and crowd very into it. It was a very short tour and I think that Jeff might have covered expenses for it - he called it a "victory lap" for the album. I doubt we will see another tour without another album though.
I've been picking up a lot of Joseph Arthur music lately (there's lots out there lol) and I enjoy his solo work. I hope all goes well for him moving forward as he seems like a decent guy and certainly a talented artist. I am hoping to catch his solo performance if only he would please come through the middle of Canada sometime - maybe for a festival?
Maybe Jeff can collect all his old bandmates (RNDM, Tres Mtns, and Three Fish) and put on a three hour retrospective show? That would be fun.
