Southern rock band Confederate Railroad said Tuesday it’s “rejecting” payment after being dropped from a Downstate fair lineup by a governor who blasted the band’s logo as featuring a symbol “of racists, of white nationalists, of the alt-right.”
The band, whose logo includes the Confederate flag, was booked to play the Du Quoin State Fair for two months before Gov. J. B. Pritzker’s staff put the kibosh on their performance, which had been scheduled for Tuesday.
Capitol Fax first questioned the Pritzker administration about the band’s appearance, and the political blog also reported on the band’s Facebook post Tuesday. In that post, Danny Shirley, a founding member and lead singer of the band, explained the decision to decline the compensation after they had been pulled from the line-up.
“On June 24th, 2019, the Du Quoin State Fair agreed to pay us in full. We contemplated the proper use of this money,” the statement reads in part. “The band agreed we should give it to a charitable organization that directly benefits the people of Southern Illinois. Those ‘tax dollars’ belong to the people of southern Illinois, and to see some good come from it seemed like the best solution. On July 19, 2019, we received a multi-page conditional legal release in order to obtain that payment.”
Shirley went on to say that after months of being referred to as “promoters of hate and racism, without one individual stepping forward to cite any such personal occurrence” as well as a 30-year career performing “I simply cannot and will not accept this money that requires their conditional Settlement Agreement and Release. Hopefully, they will be guided to put that money back into the region, as we intended to do.”
