thank you to everyone who has come out to support us so far on the first leg of our tour…we’ve had a blast. boston, burlington, portland and schenectady were great shows and we were fortunate to see some old friends, as well as make some terrific new fans. tonight we are playing at the bug jar in rochester, ny at 8pm. from here on in, we head to cleveland, chicago, pittsburgh and wrap up in philadelphia next saturday. all our remaining show details can be found at…you guessed it…our show page on our website. ben and i have been documenting our trip with some great video footage which we can’t wait to share with you all. our ford fusion rental car is a force to be reckoned with. hope to see some of you out this week, and please tell your friends if they live in the areas we’re hitting. as they say up here in rochester, peace out!
We hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and that you are transitioning into the winter season with ease. As you are all starting a new week of work, still lagging from the holiday, we bring you good news. We are happy to announce our acoustic winter tour, kicking off at The House of Blues Foundation Room in Boston on Dec. 9th. This is an amazing venue, and a very snazzy way to begin our tour.
Please note: The House of Blues show is INVITE ONLY. So, just respond to this email if you want to come, complete with friends names, etc…only people on the list will be allowed in. They have a full kitchen and bar, and we will begin at 9pm. Lastly, and a bit strangely, there is a business casual dress code…no sneakers, t-shirts or hats.. Think of it this way, you’ve seen us in enough dives before, we’re classing it up for one night only…let’s roll with it. http://www.houseofblues.com/venues/clubvenues/boston/foundationroom.php

We worked with a fantastic cast and crew, spearheaded by the amazingly talented Dave Pestka from the company, Running With Elephants. So, please enjoy the video, and pass it along to friends and family.
I hope this finds you well and that you enjoyed the summer. Where it may seem as though we disappeared for a bit, we have actually been working diligently on new projects. The first of which is our brand new music video for the track ‘Come By’ off The Prospect EP.
Also…we will be releasing a new song on the 1st of each month starting October 1st. Everyone on our email list will receive a link to download the song for free. We only ask that you do your best to spread the word about The Break Mission…tell someone to check out our website, forward the video to people you think might be interested in it, and tell your friends about our free download promotion starting in October. Anyone that signs up for the mailing list will automatically get every song, every month.
