Thank You Dirk!

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”- Marcel Proust



With outmost gratitude, we are here to announce that one of our greatest friends, teammate, true legend, amazing bass player, most kind, intelligent human, Dirk Yahraes, has made the decision to prioritize time with his family and is retiring from touring with 12/24.



Where do we begin to express our appreciation for the time we spent together on and off stage? Through cherished memories, of course!



Dirk Yahraes joined the Twelve Twenty-Four family in 2009 and for the last impressive 16 years, Dirk skillfully holding the low end by laying down his bass lines during every season.



Your legacy will undoubtedly resonate in every note we play and every audience we entertain. As you embark on this new chapter, know that your contributions have left an indelible mark on Twelve Twenty Four's history. We celebrate not only your musical talents but also the warmth and camaraderie you've brought to our band family. As we move forward, your spirit will continue to inspire us, and your stories will be recounted with fondness and admiration.



Thank you for your professionalism, leadership, musicianship, and showmanship. Most importantly, thank you for your unwavering friendship!



Although we may miss your presence on stage, we are excited to see what the future holds for you, and we know that you will bring the same passion and dedication to everything you pursue. We know that your family absolutely adores you and they will be incredibly lucky to have more of you from here on out. Thank you once more, Dirk, for being a cornerstone of our journey.



Here's to new beginnings and the beautiful memories we've created together. Cheers to you!!
