Hey everyone,

This is written with mixed feelings of disappointment and optimism. First of all, thank you to everyone who listens to the band. We love writing music, and will continue to for a long time. Anyone who has ever told one person about the band, come to a show, bought a song on iTunes, given a word of encouragement; you’re the reason we love to be a band.

So…recently, we learned that our good friend and guitarist, Shea, would not be joining us on the road any longer. It was disappointing to hear. However, we are wishing him the best in anything he pursues down the road. Speaking of the road, living there is by no means the easiest lifestyle. Tour can be tough…being away from friends, girlfriends, family, pets, beds, good food, showers, etc. Shea decided, after a few national tours and hundreds of shows with the band, that the recent Iron Horse in our home area, would be his last. It was a fitting last gig with a good friend, and it was a pleasure playing with him for the last few years.

Unfortunately, losing Shea so close to the tour left Brendan, Dave, and myself, with little time to train a new player. We wish we were able to play these shows on the east coast, and really look forward to coming back soon. As we mentioned, if you were planning on coming to any of these shows, send us an email at thegallerymusic@gmail.com and let us know and we will send you our new EP . Let us know the city the show was in and we will make a serious effort to come back soon.

Moving forward. We are, as always, excited about writing music and sharing it with everyone who loves music too. We have been working on new songs, and don’t have any intent to stop doing that because of a few waves. Change happens, and sometimes we can’t control it. But we can do our best to turn it into something good.

We’re excited about the future, and are looking forward to getting back on the road, and back in the studio. Until then, keep in touch…we love you guys.

Thanks for all of the support,

Ryan, Brendan, and Dave
