STATS

Where: House of Blues - Foundation Room
When: December 19, 2009
With: Unsupported; Andrew T. Mitchell guest stars

SUMMARY

An incredible exclamation point at the end of an unbelievable year. This show was the finish line - the last date that was on the calendar when our old bandmates quit on us. Every show going into this one was in and of itself, a mini miracle. Amidst a fierce blizzard and a lot of behind the scenes BS we drew over hundred happy people to the nicest room in Boston and had as much fun as I can ever remember.

The highlight was, without question, the performance of our friend Mr. Andrew T. Mitchell providing trombone accompaniment as Johnny and I dueled on the classic “Heatmiser, Snowmiser” song. The crowd was so warm, so friendly, so FUN. Johnny and I acknowledged that this may well have been our last show. I’m glad it wasn’t, but when that day finally comes, I hope to go out with one just like this. - Mick

12-13-09 - Panthers @ Patriots pre-game

STATS

Where: Patriot Place at Gillette Stadium
When: December 13, 2009
With: Unsupported

SUMMARY

The New England Patriots were really good to us in 2009. We got to open their fabulous outdoor Rock the Plaza series in April, we made 4 appearances on their “Totally Patriots” TV show throughout the year (see videos) and then we got to play out in front of Gillette during the pregame for the team’s game against the Panthers. I was so cold, I had to cut holes in cheap gloves and seal the cuts with Ryan’s lighter (proving that I guess you CAN play guitar with gloves on). Steve, on the other hand, was right in front of the giant heater they brought out for us and was so hot he stripped down to a t-shirt!

We played a really fun set with fans watching above us, below us and all around us as we played on a balcony above the main entrance gate. The Pats always treat us great, so we were psyched to be able to take 5 excited SPR fans with us to the game after we were done.

A very fun day and a job well done for a band that was still very much in transition. This was Ryan’s third show, Steve’s fourth show and, sadly, it was Jarret’s last. - Mick
