I suppose it depends on your point of view as to whether this is terrible news or not. I haven't seen Josh's group in person, but from what I've watched on youtube, I think the group has a lot of work to do to get their show up to the level of professionalism that The Kingston Trio is known for. As of Oct. 1, Josh and company are playing the dates that were booked for the George-Bill-Rick configuration. It will be interesting to find out how venues and audiences react to this switch in the line-up. When you change one member of a group, there's usually no problem in presenting that as long as the integrity of the show is maintained. Buy when you change the entire line-up? I think some venues may react negatively to that kind of "bait and switch." I'm sure some of these venues have already advertised the G-B-R trio in their advanced promotion, so it will be interesting to see how these venues respond to suddenly having an entirely different group show up.
