Per the brief discussion of Mary Ramsey in the 10,000 Maniacs section of the thread, she's actually just left the band (along with guitarist Jeff) and they've announced Leigh and Matt from Sixpence None The Richer have filled their spots.
Not sure if anyone still pays serious attention to them in 2023, but I'd be interested to hear new material in this configuration should any appear.

One of those odd situations where the replacement was in the band much longer than their original singer, but were there many people paying attention after Natalie left? I don't think I've ever heard a note.
