Do any of you know whether Pure Prairie League is touring with a steel player? If so, who is he?

Chad,
Pure Praire League played a show (which was free to the public), a few weeks ago , near Akron Ohio. They indeed had a pedal steel player who doubled on fiddle. I don't know his name but he did a great job on both.

Chad,
Try this link
I believe the consensus was that he is no longer a full time musician and he lives in Ohio.
