As you know, our lead singer, guitarist, and trumpet player, Brendan McGinn, entered medical school in the fall of 2005. We continued to play AGP shows when it was possible for him to do so. Unfortunately, Brendan will be unable to play any more shows after this spring and we have decided it is appropriate to call these upcoming dates our "Farewell Shows." While it may be possible that we will play again someday, we don't believe this will happen in the foreseeable future.
We will be celebrating the release of a brand new album, Waiting Room, that was recorded over the last few years. We think it is our best studio album yet. The upcoming shows also mark our 10 year anniversary of being a band!
As for the rest of us, we have been recording new music for Skinjer which features Ben, Rob, Dave, and Andrew of AGP and have been working on other solo projects. We will make announcements here on addisongroove.com and to the AGP mailing list to let you know of any shows that we will be doing with other bands.
We can't thank all of you enough for making our childhood dreams come true. We have hundreds of amazing memories from AGP that we will cherish forever.
Love,
AGP - Dave, Ben, Andrew, Brendan, & Rob
