56 Hope Road - Journals

Hey 56ers
As we fall back out of daylight savings, you gain an hour. I can’t think of a better use of that hour than partying down with the 56 Hope Road. I hope you haven’t used it up yet. Because we have the party going on! We had such an awesome time rocking out the Gorillaz on Halloween we are reanimating it again this Thursday in Springfield IL at Marly’s. It may even show up some this Friday at the Red Stone Room at the River Music Experience in Davenport IA. Then we return to Peoria Heights to get funky fresh at Oliver’s Nov. 19 next Friday. To end the month we pull out all the stops for Saturday the 27th of November to jam on 3 Olives Bar & Grill in Princeton IL. So my suggestion is disperse your extra hour over all four gigs. That’s like twenty minutes free each night. Just checking if you are paying attention to the math.
Stay classy 56ers.

Hey 56ers
Summer is over. So what now? How about you come inside and let 56 Hope Road keep you warm. We will snuggle before and after the show. We know you like that. We like it too. Why don't we meet up this Friday at the Café in Macomb IL. Let's spend some quality time together. But we don't want to jump into anything too quickly. How about we just set aside a couple of more Fridays after that. We were thinking Sept. 17th we could meet up in Peoria at the Whammy Bar. It's a new place for us but we know you like to try new places. We will make sure you are taken care of and very comfortable. Are you getting as excited as we are. Yea lets round out the month with a nice romantic evening at Norb Andy's September 24th in Springfield IL. We think Fridays in October is our days and we promise to make every one feel like the first time. We will probably not sleep very much, just thinking of you too much. We can't wait!

Hey 56ers
The Road has finally recovered from Summer Camp. Yesterday we woke up in a corn field in Chillicothe and realized the festival has been over for a month. From everyone we talked to it was an awesome time! These videos on YouTube are all we have to go on. Please enjoy one of our new songs, some old songs with special guests, a cover with special guests and a sampling of what it was like hanging with The Chad all weekend long.





Now it is time for the 56 Hope Road rap.
5 because we are way better then 4
6 because we are way better then 5
H because we are Humongous
O because we are On the money
P because we are Poignant
E because we are Exciting
R because we are Ridiculous
O did I say On the money
A because we are Awesome
D we are Dunktacular
Now have a friend beat box while you spit that hot fire I just provided for you.
So do you want to party with us? Of course you do! So if you happen to be going to the Dave Matthews Band show on the 4th of July at Alpine Valley, come see us play in the VIP club before and after the show. And if you don’t have VIP passes get a hold of us and we will see what we can do. After that you can party with us in Decatur IL at Donnie’s Friday July 16th. The final show of the month will be held at Buddi’s in Galesburg IL Friday July 23rd. There you have it. Happy birthday United States of America. Let’s go ahead and win that world cup… what we lost again to Ghana… I mean next year… what every four years… We will do it in2014 you heard it here first.
Peace Out
The 56 Hope Road
