507 Main 5/21/10

Summer was in the air in Belmar on Friday night as an extremely enthusiastic packed crowd rocked the night away at 507 Main. From the opening drums of "She's the One" to the closing sax solo of "Jersey Girl," the great group of people on hand were with us every step of the way, dancing, singing all the lyrics, screaming out requests and pumping their fists to songs like "Badlands" and "Born to Run." Even the semi-obscure "Something in the Night," which was played by request wound up getting a fantastic response. These are the type of nights that you live for when you play in a band like ours. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone in attendance who partied with us all night and made it so much fun. An extra-special thank you goes out to those who continue to come out time again to support the band. We love you guys and are looking forward to an amazing summer at the shore!

The Lighthouse 5/08/10

It was a gorgeous, warm, breezy evening in Dewey Beach, Delaware. A perfect night for a show. Perfect except for the fact that my head and chest were totally congested and I had virtually no voice. But hey, the show must go on right? Thankfully my shufflin' compadres wouldn't let me down and rose to the occasion. My brother Ryan stepped up and provided a lot of extra vocals where he could, even singing all of "Glory Days" by himself to close out the night when I simply had nothing left. The "Big Shank" ventured out into the crowd on various occasions and the other guys played their hearts out and offered lots of encouragement. In the end, we battled through it and everyone in attendance seemed to have a great time despite my shortcomings. Many thanks to my band mates Ryan, Bill, Dave, Rich, Mark and Chris as well as everyone who came out to see us Saturday night.
