You never know where this wild road will lead. Some days it feels like you're just spinning your wheels, some days you feel a little forward momentum and other days you get tossed backwards or in a direction you didn't willingly want to go. This is the journey.
For anybody who has been following us, not as a band, but as people. Our friends, families, and listeners. You know we've been at this for a long haul. In fact since we were in our mid teens. We're now all in our mid to late 40's and have so much to be thankful for.
The road less traveled, has led us (in different iterations of bands, and outfits over these years) to a lot of places. Clubs, Venues, Basements, Living Rooms, Outdoor Areas, Barns, Party's. Pretty much anywhere you can imagine a band would play, we've done it at this point. We've met so many great people, we've had the opportunity to share the stage with incredible bands time after time.
But we will say 11/18/26 is going to hit differently. We grew up going to HWM shows whenever they'd come to the area (Laga, Grog Shop etc…), spinning their albums and at the same time being very inspired by what they have done with the trade (and still are). They've kept going, and thankfully so have we.
As a result we are finally getting to share the stage with them, and what feels like a friendship that began around 30 years ago, is now being given an opportunity to take shape on 11/18/26 @ Centennial Hall in Erie, PA.
We're so damn honored to have this opportunity and trust us when we say this, it has been hard earned. In this iteration (ONE IF BY LAND), we've still felt the pull to write and release music independently and speak our hearts for those who want to listen. We now have 3 full lengths, a 2 banger, and some features on other things.
We know there are some of you out there who know exactly just how much this evening means to us, and we really hope you all can be there.
You can pick up tickets at the link below from The Erie Reader:
We cannot put to words how grateful we are and how much we appreciate the opportunity to still do what we love to do, and in a capacity that remains meaningful to so many.
The lineup includes HOT WATER MUSIC, ONE IF BY LAND, NIGHTMARATHONS, and PENNY RACER.
Big shout out to Matt with Idlestar Productions and Jason at Lavery Brewing for bringing these legends to Erie.
All that's left, is to show up and do what we do!
We hope you're just as excited as we are! Please, if you're on the fence, just hop that thing - go pick up a ticket and come hang for an evening with some of your favorite people playing in some of your favorite bands.
