Blast at the Brickhouse…

A blast at the Brickhouse last night. The dance floor was packed almost the entire night. (When it wasn't it was because people wore themselves out. LOL)

Again so many familiar faces and some new ones too. Everyone was having so much fun (and we were too) that we blew through what was to be our second break. We didn't want to lose the momentum all the partiers had going- and going strong.

We're back at Brickhouse on September 19th. But we have lots of awesome gigs at a lot of awesome venues between now and then. Next up is Lione's Pizza Restaurant in Downingtown on February 22nd.

Again, thanks to all who came out last night to party with us. We appreciate you all.

Until we see you again, stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And, of course, keep on rockin'.

Stellar night at Marchwood…

Stellar night at Marchwood Tavern. Folks came out in the cold expecting to party with us and no one was disappointed. Every available space was occupied and then some and the dancers started with song one and barely let up all night. Those not dancing were helping out by singing along with us. That's what's great about classic rock - everybody knows the songs and they bring out the joy.

As always, the crew at Marchwood, led by Steven and Donna, was awesome in taking care of everyone. We couldn't ask for anything more from them. (A special shout out to Cooper, my wife's and my waiter, as he was awesome.)

Thanks to all of you, the familiar faces and the new faces, who came out last night. We appreciate the support. Speaking of support, all of our wives were there last night which was awesome. They are truly our biggest supporters.

So a new year has begun and we're picking up where we left off last year. It's shaping up to another big year for us with our returning to many of our favorite venues but also debuting at some new venues that have reached out to us and want us to jam at their places. We're excited.

Our next gig is a return to Brickhouse Bar and Grill on February 1st. Music starts at 8pm.

In the meantime, stay

We’re back! And we rocked The Dutch…

After our brief holiday hiatus we started the new year with a bang. We rocked The Dutch and brought the heat on a cold night. It was great to see so many of our fans and friends again as well as many new faces. They all had one thing in common though- they were rockin' and singing and dancing along with us all night. We love and appreciate the enthusiasm and energy.

We appreciate the support from The Dutch as well. Jenn, Ryan, and both Mikes helped the night go smoothly as always.

A special shout out and congratulations to Tori (The Dutch's Entertainment Director) and her husband Mike as they welcomed a baby boy this past Friday. We wish them well and the best of luck.

We have a great year shaping up- a lot of gigs already scheduled and more to come. We're excited. Check out our website for the schedule.

Next up is Marchwood Tavern next Saturday, January 11th. Music starts at 9 but get there early to get a good seat and get something good to eat as well.

We wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2025. Stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And keep on rockin'.

We put a bow on 2024 at Marchwood Tavern…

We wrapped up our 2024 schedule with a merry gathering of friends at Marchwood Tavern last night. We were gifted with a great deal of enthusiasm from those in attendance and quite a few dancers spread their cheer on the dance floor all night long. Everyone enjoyed the spirits served up by those tending the bar and that helped fuel the revelry. There was not a "bah humbug" to be heard as we brought good tidings in the form of 42 awesome classic rock goodies.

Thanks to Marchwood Tavern for their hospitality last night and at all our gigs there throughout the year.

It's been a fun year for Breaking Curfew as we've had so many opportunities to do what we love and share it with so many great people. We can't begin to put into words how much we have appreciated all the support we've received throughout the year. As James often says we couldn't do this without you. Thank-you all.

John, James , Rich, and I wish you all a happy holiday season. We hope you enjoy time with family and friends and can focus on what is good in your lives. Stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another.

We'll see you again in 2025. We're going to keep this good thing going. Our schedule is filling up so please check it out on the schedule page.

The Trum was rockin’…

The Trum Tavern never disappoints us and frequently surprises us. Last night it did both.

(We have a soft spot for The Trum because it is one of the first, if not THE first venue, to say to us: "Yeah, we'd like you to come play at our place.")

But last night we would not have been surprised if the crowd was a bit thinner than usual because we realized yesterday was the first day of hunting season. But the place was full all night and full of people who wanted to party and that's just what they/we did. Dancers all night and an equal number of men as women! Doesn't often happen that way. Those not dancing were singing along.

As usual some people new to the band last night as well and we heard a lot of positive feedback. One comment though was one we'd never heard before: "You guys are as tight as a clam's ass!" Now I didn't know clams had asses (I've never looked, LOL) but we'll take that as a compliment.

Thanks to all who came out last night and thanks again to Steven Lewis for inviting us to play there all these years. We hope to return for some more fun next year.

Next up is our final gig of the year at The Marchwood Tavern on Saturday, December 7th. Music starts at 9pm.

Until then, stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And, as always, keep on rockin'.

Final 2024 gig at Big Phil’s was a rockin’ success…

Our fifth and final 2024 gig at Big Phil's was nothing short of awesome. All because of our great fans who sang and danced all night long. So much energy and enthusiasm and joy. We loved it and fed off it.

There were also a number of newcomers to the fan club and we're happy to welcome them.

We played past curfew as usual but then also answered the calls for 2 more songs. We're always happy to oblige those requests.

We also got to celebrate Big Phil's birthday (a day late). Such a cool guy.

Big thanks to Ryan, Morgan, Keely who did yeoman’s work behind the bar and on the floor. Awesome crew at Big Phil's. They were also a huge reason the night was so great.

Special thanks also to our finance manager Janet.

We have a couple of weeks off but pick things back up on November 30th with a return to The Trum Tavern. Then on December 7th we complete what has been a very successful year at The Marchwood Tavern. Hope to see you folks at one or both of those gigs.

In the meantime stay safe and healthy. We also hope everyone has a wonderful

A Brickhouse blast…

Fun time at Brickhouse last night. As usual many familiar faces- friends, family, and fans. We rocked the place for 3 hours and everyone still had lots of energy after celebrating Halloween the night before. Dancers all night, including one wild chair dance to "Funky Music." Sorry, no video of that. LOL

We appreciate all who came out and of course we are grateful for the support of the Brickhouse staff.

We return to the Brickhouse on February 1st and were already looking forward to that gig.

Today we have the second half of our double header weekend. We play at a fundraiser for Jenna's Blessing Bags which is an organization created in the memory of Jenna Burleigh. This group collects and distributes clothing, personal hygiene supplies, and foodstuffs to improve the lives of the homeless population. We are honored to a part of this event.

Spooky night at D-Town VFW…

Halloween blast at Downingtown VFW last night. What a party! So many cool costumes. Costume or not though, everyone had an awesome time. As always at the VFW the dance floor was packed all night. Now that we've been there a number of times we recognize so many of the members and they all make us feel so welcome. And, of course, we brought many of our own friends and fans as well.

We look forward to a return visit or two next year. We're going to work on some dates.

Next weekend is a double header: Brickhouse on Friday night and a fundraiser for Jenna's Blessing Bags on Saturday night. Looking forward to both.

We hope to see you soon but in th

Fun night at Timothy’s…

Fun night at Timothy's. A little smaller crowd than usual but just as enthusiastic. Fun place to play. We want to thank everyone who came out last night and the entire Timothy's crew for making it a fun time for all who were there.

Next up is the Halloween Costume Party at Downingtown VFW. This should be a blast and we can't wait. Saturday, October 26th, from 7pm to 11pm (and probably later.) Open to the public so get your best costume and take a shot at the prize money being offered.

In the meantime stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And, as always, keep on rockin'.

Whitpain tavern was a blast…

All's well that ends well. No problem with the change in venue because we rocked the Whitpain Tavern last night. Enthusiastic, raucous crowd that couldn't sit or stand still all night. As usual a large contingent of Breaking Curfew fans as well as loads of new fans. Such great feedback and response.

We jammed 42 of some of the best classic rock tunes and everybody was digging it. People danced and sang along all night.

Whitpain is a great venue and we feel fortunate we got a chance to play there. Plenty of space for the band and dancers. Add great food and drinks to that and you have all the ingredients for an awesome party which is what it was.

We are now at the beginning of a busy stretch for us which takes us through the end of the year. Next up is a return to Timothy's in Exton this Friday, October 18th. We jam there from 8pm to 11pm.

Hope to see you there.

In the meantime stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And, as always, keep on rockin'.

Awesome night at Big Phil’s…

Well it was an awesome night at Big Phil's. Great crowd that was hooting and hollering all night, with plenty of dancers as well. We also got to celebrate 3- count 'em, 3 birthdays. That of course added to the high energy party atmosphere.

As usual we played past curfew; but no encores because we need to conserve energy for tomorrow's private gig.

We appreciate the support Big Phil's has given us and continues to give us. That includes Big Phil of course, Maria C., and Ryan and his crew who did a fantastic job behind the bar, in the kitchen, etc.

And, of course, we appreciate the support of all our friends and fans who keep coming to our shows. Couldn’t do it without you.

We return to Big Phil's for the last time in 2024 on November 9th. Mark it down. (We hope to have a few dates in 2025 too; we'll keep you posted on that.)

After tomorrow's private party we return Friday, September 27th, to the Cabana Bar. We start at 7pm. We start praying for good weather on Monday. LOL

We hope to see you all soon. In the me

And The Trum did rock…

Thanks to all who came out and partied with us at the Trum Tavern last night. We brought our "A" game with a lot of our heavier stuff and rocked the place all night long. An enthusiastic and appreciative audience was on hand and helped keep the energy at a very high level. Even the folks playing pool in the back room were digging our tunes. One of our newest and biggest fan, Heather, made it with her new hip and husband Drew. Now that's determination and the kind of support with love.

Special thanks to Steven Lewis for inviting us to jam at his place. He wants us back in 2025 for 2 or 3 gigs. (We actually have one more there this year on November 30th.)

Extra special thanks to Melody who was working hard behind the bar and out front as well making sure everyone had plenty of liquid and solid fuel. LOL.

Next up for us is Big Phil's on September 21st. That's become a favorite venue of ours. That party starts at 8pm.

Until we see you again stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And keep on rockin'.

Blew the walls off at the Dutch…

We blew the walls off the Dutch last night. Well actually, they had taken the temporary walls down and opened up the entire back of the place which was awesome given the weather was perfect. So we didn't blow the walls down but we would have if they had still been up. lol

Great crowd as always at The Dutch. Loads of our fans and friends were there as well as a lot of Dutch regulars. So much positive feedback as we jammed a good mix of everyone's favorite classic rock tunes AND we dusted off some songs we hadn't played in a while for something a bit different.

Dancers, dancers, dancers! It was great to see so many people on the cornhole court right next to us showing off their best moves. (At least until the cornholers reclaimed the space.) Then any open space worked as a dance floor.

Thanks again to all who came out to party with us. The support means everything to us.

Nothing scheduled for Labor Day weekend so we'll spend time with our families. Hope you all have a safe and fun holiday.

Next up for us is The Trum Tavern- one of the very first places we played. September 7th at 8pm. Hope to see you there

Incredible night at Cabana Bar…

What an incredible night at Cabana Bar. The place was packed even before our first song and it ended up being standing room only. It was clear that everyone there was primed to party and that's exactly what they did. We had dancers all night (finding whatever sliver of space they could) and the most back-up singers we've ever had. What a blast!

And this all played out under a beautiful sunset and then a clear night sky. Perfect. Thank you weather gods.

Sooo many of our fans showed up, including some we hadn't seen a little while. So cool to connect again with them.

(We also want to thank the young woman who left a VERY generous tip. We saw you drop it in the jar but had no idea what denomination it was. We wish we could have thanked you in person.)

As James often says: "We couldn't do this without you! And you! And you!" So thanks so much for the ongoing support.

We close out our month of August with a return to The Dutch next Saturday and you know that's always a super fun night. Hope to see you there.

In the meantime stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And keep on rockin'.

Epic night at Eagleville Taphouse…

An epic night at Eagleville Taphouse. Big, enthusiastic crowd all night with lots of familiar faces. We have such a devoted following and we appreciate the support. Of course, lots of new faces too which means lots of new fans. Though not a lot of room for dancing that didn't stop folks from finding whatever space they could to let loose. And those not dancing were singing along.

As usual we went past "curfew"- nobody wanted the music to stop.

The Eagleville Taphouse is a cool venue: good food, good drinks, and lots of room to party. If you've never been you should give it at try.

We appreciate Lee for inviting us to jam there again. And a big shout out to Nellie and DJ who hustled all night long making sure no glass was empty and no need was unmet.

Next up is Cabana Bar in Skippack this Friday August 16th. An outdoor venue and the music starts at 7pm. Hope to see you there.

In the meantime...you know what I always say...stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And keep on rockin'.

Big Phil’s was rockin’…

An enthusiastic crowd at Big Phil's...as usual a lot of familiar faces but many new ones too. (And it was great to see newlyweds Gary and Tina!) We treated everyone to 3 hours of our favorite classic rock tunes and they all dug them all.

Thanks to Ryan and his crew for their hard work all night behind the bar and out in the restaurant serving up great drinks and delicious food.

We're back at it next Saturday when we return to the Eagleville Tavern. Promises to be another fun night. Hope to see you there.

We rocked Tom’s again…

We had a good mid-summer Friday night crowd at Tom's last night. Always a fun time at Tom's and last night was no exception. We appreciated the support from so many of our loyal fans as well as from some new fans too. It's always cool to hear someone who has never seen/heard us before come up to us and say how much they love what we do.

A huge thanks to Tom's crew in the kitchen and at the bar as they worked hard all night keeping everyone satisfied. And a big thanks again to Anthony for inviting us to jam there. That's it for us at Tom's for this year; we look forward to returning in 2025.

Next up for us is Big Phil's in Pottstown on August 3rd. Mark your calendars and we'll see you there.

In the meantime stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And keep on rockin'.

Awesome debut at Lione’s…

We had an awesome debut at Lione's Pizza and Restaurant. Our hiatus had no effect on us; in fact we came back energized and excited to be back rockin' out. And, of course, it was great to see again so many family and friends.

A new place means new people who haven't seen us before and the feedback from them was so positive. And Lione's staff was impressed as well as a few told us we "killed it."

It was a hot night to start so there were only a few dancers initially. But, after the sun set and it was just warm the dance floor heated up and stayed packed the rest of the night.

We were so impressed with Lione's as a venue for live music. (It is obviously a great bar and restaurant as well.) We played outside on the patio out back (we were covered thankfully) and they opened the huge sliding doors so the bar becomes part of the action. It was a great crowd.

Of course we went part curfew and as usual were requested strongly to play one more song. Naturally we were happy to oblige.

Thanks to Carlo for inviting us to play; he definitely wants us back so we're going to see if we can squeeze one more gig in this year. If not, we'll return in 2025.

And thanks to the entire Lione's crew for their hard work all night long.

Next up for us is Tom's in Royersford- a favorite venue of ours. That's this coming Friday, July 19th. Music starts at 8pm.

Crushed it at Puck Live…

We crushed it at The Puck. Great night as the place was standing room only and the dance floor was in use all night. An awesome crowd that spanned all ages and everyone there was energetic and enthusiastic from the first note to the last crash of the cymbals. A lot of new faces mixed in with many of our regulars.

We blew through our designated curfew finishing up the scheduled portion of the gig with our favorite crowd participation tunes: Sweet Child, Fight For Your Right, and Highway to Hell. Folks swarmed the front of the stage to help us out, belting out the lyrics along with James. But even that was not enough as everyone was chanting "one more song" and "encore." Of course we were happy to oblige their request.

Another fun, fun night.

We had a great set-up courtesy of The Puck: nice actual stage with a killer sound system (complete with excellent sound man, Dave) and full complement of lights as well.

The Puck is a cool venue offering a wide range of delicious beverages with the emphasis of course on beers. When the kitchen is up and running that place will be an unbeatable venue.

We now head into our longest break of the year. We're going to spend time with our families vacationing and staycationing, grilling and chilling, and celebrating graduations, birthdays, and anniversaries, etc. We pick things back up in July at another new venue, Lione's in Downingtown.

Thanks again to all who came out last night and thanks for your ongoing support of the band. As James always says: we couldn't do this without you. And as I always say: stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And keep on rockin'.

Wild night at Marchwood Tavern…

A wild night at Marchwood Tavern. We love that place and it loves us back. Good crowd as usual with a lot of our regular "peeps." A lot of dancing also as usual. We have a group that loves to let it loose on the dance floor. And last night we were treated with a group of very enthusiastic "dancers" with, uh, some unorthodox dance moves. (James was in peril most of the night as they were "doing their thing" within inches of him.)

Fun night.

Thanks again to all who came out and to the Marchwood Tavern crew for taking care of things all night long.

This coming Friday, June 7, we are heading to Great Barn Taphouse at Puck Live. Music starts at 7pm. Hope to see you there.

In the meantime, stay safe and healthy and be kind to one another. And keep on rocki
