Mr. Hand

Hello everyone! Mr. Hand would like to let you all know that starting in January 2012 we are taking a break from performing. We have no definite plans for how long or how short this break will be. Only that after 16 years of playing without any extended breaks, we sure could use it, and need a nice break.

Another epic St. Patrick’s celebration was held in O’Neill, NE this year! Thanks to all the partiers who made the trip. Also, a big thank you to Dougherty’s Pub and all their staff. You guys are awesome!

The Phoenix Room is another of our favorite stops. Not only is the staff a great group of people but the crowds that show up here are always ready to party. Our last stop at the Phoenix Room was no exception!

We enjoyed a great night at T Henery’s located in Omaha’s Old Market back on February 12th. We had friends, family and some rabid hockey fans show up to help us party the night away!

We made our Sioux City debut with our newest member, Mike Fitzpatrick, on January 28th & 29th. And what a weekend is was! Great crowds both nights helped to make the weekend memorable.

That’s right, we’re adding a 4th member to the band! After about 10 years with 3 members we’re happy to welcome Mike Fitzpatrick as the new bass player in Mr. Hand.

A few weeks back we loaded up our gear and made the drive north for 2 fun nights at the Depot in Norfolk, NE. As usual, our old stomping grounds did not disappoint! Both nights were great. Thanks to everyone who came out and thanks to our friends at the Depot for having us.

We stopped at Rhonda’s Speakeasy for a couple nights right after Thanksgiving. It was just the thing for our turkey hangovers. In fact, a good time at Rhonda’s can cure just about anything that ails you!

We had the privilege to play a private party in Winside, NE a few weeks back. It was a great time. Despite the Huskers losing the football game that evening, everybody stayed in the party mood and made the night fun. Thanks to all who put this party on and invited us to be a part of it!

For our second ever show at Two Fine Irishmen in Omaha, NE Mother Nature decided to play a joke on us. She thought it would be funny to send some freezing rain and the season’s first snowfall. But in the end, the joke was on her!
