Mr. Hand is taking an extended break

Mr. Hand — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 02:01:42 +0000

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.

We have some great shows lined up for the rest of 2011 at some of our favorite places and we hope that you’ll join us to celebrate the last 16 years. There are also some special things that we’re lining up for a few of these final shows. We’ll be sure to pass those plans along once they are confirmed.

Thanks again for your support over the years and the good times shared, see you soon!

Show Report: The Phoenix Room

Mr. Hand — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 23:05:55 +0000

Sometimes the last-minute, unexpected shows turn out to be the most memorable and fun. And that was the case at The Phoenix Room this last Saturday night.

As you may or may not know we had a show originally booked in Omaha that fell through, but thankfully our good friend Blake from The Phoenix Room invited us to play at his place in Norfolk. We were a little nervous about what kind of turnout we would get without being able to do much promotion, but we had a great group of die-hards show up and make the night a lot of fun!

Once again we played several of our new original songs – “The Color Blue,” “New Fix,” “On Your Own,” “Second Start,” and “20 More Ways.” We hit the studio in just under 2 weeks, so you can expect to hear these songs more and more at upcoming shows and throughout the summer shows as well!

Now on to the photos from The Phoenix Room…

Phoneix Room – last minute show added!

Bret — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 21:31:15 +0000

Just confirmed today we’ll be playing at the Phoenix Room in Norfolk this Saturday night!

We’ve been riding the scheduling roller coaster with some recent schedule changes. As you may know we had to cancel our previously scheduled show for this Saturday at Kennedy’s Bar & Grille in Omaha. We’ll be back in Omaha in May and have some other things lined up for the summer and into the fall at the Arena Sports Bar & Grill and Two Fine Irishmen. And we’re working on getting things lined up for future dates at Kennedy’s as well.

Much thanks to Blake at the Phoenix Room for making Saturday’s show happen!

Schedule change!

Mr. Hand — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 15:58:25 +0000

We had a last minute schedule change to let you know about. We will now be playing at Mt. Marty College in Yankton, SD on April 24th.

Previously we were scheduled at The Depot in Norfolk for April 23rd & 24th. We will still be at The Depot for one night on the 23rd. Sorry for any confusion!

Show Report: Rhonda’s Speakeasy

Mr. Hand — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:42:27 +0000

A return visit to Rhonda’s Speakeasy was in order. It had been a couple months, but playing there never felt so good. We were able to debut a few more original songs including “The Color Blue,” “Someone New,” “Second Start,” and ” New Fix.” We’re eager to get these new songs recorded but it was great being able to share them with our Sioux City friends.

All in all it was a very good weekend, we really appreciate everyone that made it out to party with us. We can’t wait to do it again! In fact, we won’t have to wait too long as we’ll be back at Rhonda’s on May 14th & 15th. Mark your calendars now!

Show Report: Jo Jo’s

Mr. Hand — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:36:09 +0000

So this past Saturday Pierce was celebrating their annual Alumni weekend and a friend of ours was having a going away party. Add those things together and what do you get? A wild night that had Jo Jo’s busting at the seams!

The funny thing is that this is not unusual at Jo Jo’s! They always seem to be the site for some great parties. We were glad we could be there and add to the good times.

On a side note, we debuted another new original Mr. Hand song called “On Your Own.” We have studio time booked for the end of April so we continue to prepare for that by playing these new songs for you. We’ll be debuting several more new songs over the course of April, so we hope you get the chance to make it out to an upcoming show and hear the new songs!
