In 2010, Taylor and Mandel officially replaced Kage and Levenson, and as of 2012, this lineup (de la Parra, Taylor, Mandel, and Spalding) continued to tour regularly.
In October 2012, during a festival tour in Spain, France and Switzerland, Randy Resnick was called to replace Harvey Mandel who had to quit the tour due to health issues. Resnick played two dates, October 4 and 5, but had to return home for prior commitments. Adolfo de la Parra was able to get John Paulus to fly in from Portland to finish the tour.
On September 7, 2013 John Paulus once again substituted for Harvey Mandel at The Southern Maryland Blues Festival. In 2014 he officially replaced Mandel.
On August 19, 2019 longtime bass guitarist Larry Taylor died after a twelve-year battle with cancer.
The current line-up of Canned Heat features none of the original or classic-era members of the band other than Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra on drums.
