SR SetMcIntyre's 03.25.10

Hello Stolen Rhodes fans, and welcome to your latest installment of the Stolen Rhodes set list blog. Last night our travels to took us to Toms River, New Jersey on the Jersey Shore for another engagement at McIntyre's in Toms River. Of course McIntyre's is always a dear place in the heart of the band as we played our first gig there about two years ago. Last night we were one of two bands to take the stage along with End of an Era, who put on a great set themselves. Last nights show was a blistering set, with one blistering track after the other as the band tossed all their ballads aside for the set, in favor of their loud catalog showcasing Peacemaker and Life Was Never Finer to open the show, and closing out with Falling off the Edge and Keeps Us Moving to keep the energy at a 10 the whole show.

03.06.10 Benefit for Glenn Williscroft at Lakewood Elks

We had the pleasure to take part in a great celebration for Lakewood, New Jersey resident Glenn Williscroft. Much of the town Lakewood was out to support Glenn--who has been stricken with cancer--at the Lakewood Elks on Saturday afternoon. It was great to see much of the town out at the Elks supporting a long time resident. The event held a real special place for Dan and Matt as they grew up in Lakewood and the celebration gave them an opportunity to see many people they hadn't seen in a long time. It was even more special for Matt as he actually learned that his second cousin is married to Glenn (there are many Pillion's and Pillion related folk in Lakewood...too many to count).

The band had a couple of special guests as Matt's Dad (and Glenn's cousin once removed) joined the guys on backing vocals and played drums on an on-the-fly rendition of Sloop John B with the Irish Piping duo the Skyelanders, and Dan & Matt on vocals. There was food, drink, rock and roll, dancing, and good times all around. We in SR were very happy, honored, pleased, pleasured to headline such a great benefit show, that so many folks enjoyed.

We'll be taking a short two week break from gigging as Kevin will be heading down to Florida for the week to enjoy some rest and relaxation at Disney and at some Phillies ST games. Meanwhile back in NJ/PA Dan, Matt, and Ian will be continuing to write and rehearse, and continue with pre-production on SR's forthcoming album.

We'll be back in action on Friday March 19 in Doylestown, PA for our return to Puck Live. Look for a live recording of that show on your local web trade websites (along with a recording from our last show at the Stone Pony). We'll be sharing the stage with a Big Blue Spruce; whom you will be sure to enjoy if you like SR.

We'll be back at the Jersey Shore on Thursday March 25 as we play Original Music Night at McIntyre's in Toms River. Other bands to be announced.

Rock on,
SR

Shrine Bar - 03.03.10

Stolen Rhodes made a very successful return to New York City on Wednesday night, playing at the Shrine Bar in Harlem. First off we must comment on how great of a venue this place was. Great mix of people, accented by a great mix of music throughout the night. The Dan Arcamone Trio provided the crowd with some solid and well played jazz, highlighted by the guitar skills of Arcamone. Stolen Rhodes went on second and played some of their funkier and soulful numbers including a sweet rendition of Beautiful Way and the return of Whipping Post to the set list. Following us was the nights headliner the Plaine Truth. If you are a fan of SR I highly suggest checking out the Plaine Truth. A great mix of rock and roll and blues of today and yesterday. All in all a great time was had by all parties involved and we look forward to playing at the venue again shortly.

Once again we would like to remind everyone of the benefit concert being put on by the Brother Elks of Lakewood, NJ on Saturday March 6. The benefit is for local Lakewood resident Glenn Williscroft who is battling cancer. The event starts at 2 PM, and goes until 7. SR will be hitting the stage at 4 PM, and will be joined by our friends the Skyelanders. A $20 donation is being asked for. Hope to see you all there. Also a reminder that our show on Saturday night at Fans in Jackson is canceled as are all future appointments there. We have decided to tell you as fans of our music, as Fans decided that they wanted to be unprofessional and not tell us. We'll hopefully have another Surf Taco date soon.

After the show on Saturday the band will be taking a week off as Kevin is taking a vacation down to Florida to see some Phillies ST games, and Ian will be rehabbing his busted up finger (you've gotta see it...it's gross, and the fact he is playing on it is quite the wonder).

We'll be back with a force on March 19 in Doylestown, PA at Puck Live, and we'll be returning to the Jersey Shore on March 25th at the place where we got our start; McIntyre's in Toms River.

Hope to see everyone at the next gigs, and thanks for all of your support.

Milk Boy Coffee 02.27.2010

Hey all. We had a great night at Milk Boy Coffee in Ardmore, PA just outside of Philly on Saturday night. Saturday was a special night for SR fans who came out, as we played a somewhat mellower set than normal, because of Milk Boy's more intimate type setting. We played for about a solid hour and a half, featuring some rare covers, and a couple older tunes that haven't been played in a while including a blazing version of Brand New Cadillac complete with a pre-song bass diddy by Dan that drew applause from the crowd (see link in set list for video). The night also included a four song acoustic set (a welcome break for Ian who has been playing on a banged up right index finger the past few weeks) including a laid back Life Was Never Finer, and a haunting version of Falling of the Edge.

SR fans in NYC make sure you make your way out to the Shrine Bar in Manhattan on Wednesday night for a 10 PM show. This is our first appearance at what we continue to hear is a great venue.

Also for those of you in the Northern Ocean County Area we have two announcements. First off if you have the time and means please join Stolen Rhodes at the Lakewood Elks on Saturday afternoon at 2 PM for a special benefit show for Lakewood native Glenn Williscroft (Dan & Matt both hail from Lakewood originally). Glenn has been stricken with cancer and this is a show to help raise money for him and his family put on the Brother Elks of Lakewood. A $20 donation is asked for at the door. We hit the stage at 4:30 along with our good friends the Skyelanders providing pipe and drum music in between our sets...and who knows what other surprises might arise.

Secondly; for those of you planning on checking out our Fans show Saturday night in Jackson, please note that it is canceled, as are all of our future gigs there. That is all. We will be back for a show at Surf Taco soon.

Also keep checking the MySpace, Facebook, and Reverb Nation sites for all SR updates, and for you tweeters, make sure you become a follower of SR on Twitter.

Also Stolen Rhodes would like to congratulate the United States on their complete demolition of the 2010 Winter Olympics. USA! USA! USA!

Hope to see you all this week.
