===2010s=== In January 2011, Lowery released his first solo album, ''The Palace Guards'', on [[429 Records]]. In March, Cracker announced Campout East, the east coast counterpart to their Campout festival, to be held in [[Crozet, Virginia]]. The first Campout East was held at Misty Mountain Camp Resort and was co-hosted by [[Sons of Bill]]. The second Campout East took place in [[Buena Vista, Virginia]] at Glen Maury Park on June 1β2, 2012. Johnny Hickman released a second solo album, ''Tilting'', in July 2012, while Cracker's song "Low" appeared in the 2012 film ''[[The Perks of Being a Wallflower (film)|The Perks of Being a Wallflower]]'' and again in ''[[The Wolverine (film)|The Wolverine]]'' and an episode of ''[[Hindsight (TV series)|Hindsight]]''. Drummer Frank Funaro was unable to tour due to an injury to his arm that sidelined him for all of 2014. In July 2014, a revival of the ''Kerosene Hat'' era lineup toured China. Lowery and Hickman were joined on the tour by original bassist Davey Faragher and former drummer Michael Urbano. Faragher and Urbano also joined the band in recording roughly half of the double album ''[[Berkeley to Bakersfield]]''. The other half was recorded with an entirely new lineup that also became the current touring lineup. The album was released on December 9, 2014, with "Waited My Whole Life" released as a single. In December 2015, Lowery (along with [[Camper Van Beethoven]]) filed a class action lawsuit against music streaming service [[Spotify]], alleging that Spotify knowingly and unlawfully reproduced and distributed copyrighted recordings without obtaining proper music licenses.<ref>{{Cite magazine|title = Spotify Hit With $150 Million Class Action Over Unpaid Royalties {{!}} Billboard|url = http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6828092/spotify-class-action-royalties-david-lowery-cracker-150-million|magazine = Billboard|access-date = February 8, 2016}}</ref> On 12 March 2018, drummer Charlie Quintana died from a heart attack.
