The Gas House Gang toured the United States and they performed in all fifty states in the U.S. They also sang extensively in Canada and performed around the world, singing in 15 countries. Major highlights included: On June 3, 2004, the quartet announced their retirement at the end of 2005. The quartet still occasionally does reunion shows.
