Annual Ugly xMas Sweater Party

It is that time of year again. Jack Frost’s nipples are at your nose, folks are dropping Yule Logs left and right, and Ugly Sweaters are in full swing. I couldn’t find my good shirt tonight, but I’m hoping whatever I dig up will suffice. I hope to see some friendly faces at this show and I will let my internet friends how it all goes as usual.

This will be the first show I play in a while as I recently fractured my finger. It is still not fully healed but I have high hopes for tonight after acquiring some extra backup. Jonesy Knoxville from TheKillingFeild will be joining Mike Favretto and I and taking charge of the low end.

I just made a facebook page about the Ryan Problems Band and I sure would appreciate you heading over there and clicking the “Like” button. There are some live tracks on the “Listen” tab of the page and if your ears are feeling extra hungry you can feed them a little more at my SoundCloud page.

We had a killer time playing at The George on a Wednesday night. The show was organized in part by Old Shores and we shared the bill with the duo as well as Unaired Pilot, playing their first show together. There are always a lot of familiar faces when we play at 100 Georges, but this time a very good friend of mine was visiting. Cas made a nice few additions to my setlist pictured below.

LJD Awareness Concert

Last night we drove out to Timiskaming to play at an awareness concert for a local person who has been missing since March. The turn out was very diverse and the crowd was very welcoming. Spirits were high and we, alongside our hometown boys – Broads in Daylight, were happy to be a part of it all.

It was so great to play in a place I had never even been before. We had a little crowd of North Bayites and even got to see our friends in the Drama Addicts so there was no shortage of familiar faces.
